ARC-UK Technologies and Landsec partnership to benefit Leeds' White Rose shopping centre

A partnership between printing company ARC-UK Technologies and property firm Landsec is promised to benefit Leeds.

The two firms have joined forces so that ARC-UK Technologies can provide a range of print and display services across Landsec’s retail destinations, including the White Rose Shopping Centre. It follows ARC-UK, an arm of New York-listed global print company ARC Document Soltions, achieving carbon neutral status.

Darren Moorhouse, head of sales UK & Europe for ARC UK-Technologies, said: "It is our aim to ensure that reducing carbon footprints and cutting emissions in line with local communities’ targets is a cornerstone of our business. We believe strongly in helping our environment and our carbon neutral production sets a precedent for the industry as we become one of the first printing companies to offer this. Our partnership with Landsec further supports these plans and we look forward to working together to help tackle the UK’s carbon footprint."

Pablo Sueiras, head of Retail Asset Management at Landsec, said: "We create sustainable places, ensuring that we reduce the environmental impact of our destinations at every turn. By partnering with our with customers, guests and our supply chain we believe that our spaces can generate value for people and the planet. We’re looking at how we can make every element of our business more sustainable and working with ARC-UK Technologies has allowed us to make a tangible step in reducing our environmental impact across our retail destinations."

Jenny May from Carbon Quota, which works with ARC-UK, said: “Demand is increasing rapidly for carbon measurements across the print sector, it’s therefore vital for manufacturers to take control of their emissions. A growing trend we are seeing is that suppliers are losing contracts if they can’t provide accurate carbon reporting.

"ARC-UK Technologies are ahead of the competition and clearly see the benefits of managing their carbon impact effectively. Not only does this strategy support them with new partnerships it, more importantly, shows their true commitment to reduce their impact on the environment and help reduce the effects of climate change."
