Our solar power generation is in
the top 100 in Australia and generates
2.4GW
of green, clean electricity during the day.
Certified NoCO2 While we educate our team in the benefits of behavioural change and identify technology and process to reduce our carbon footprint, it is inevitable that we will not be able to neutralise our unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions. In March 2012, we engaged the Carbon Reduction Institute to conduct a carbon audit of our Production Hub. The audit aims to capture 100% of the carbon emissions which an entity is responsible for. During October 2012, Worldwide pioneered the way forward, becoming WA’s first carbon neutral printing group. To neutralise our unavoidable emissions, we purchase carbon credits in Carbon Credit Projects as determined by the Australian Federal Government National Carbon offset standard.
Benefits:
¡ Potential cost saving opportunity. ¡ Exceeds client expectations or sustainable supply. ¡ Delivers sustainable economic, environmental and social benefits to those who need it most. ¡ Reduces our carbon footprint. ¡ Reduces your client’s carbon footprint. ¡ Reduction in greenhouse gas is real. 4
Carbon Offset Project The Mauritius Project The need for solar energy is at an alltime high, as it plays such a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Worldwide is investing in the Mauritius Project, which specifically focuses on the promotion of renewable energy. The aim is to achieve a cleaner future, whilst also diversifying the current energy mix.
Benefits: ¡ Creation of direct and indirect employment. ¡ Provision of roadside drains. ¡ Potential for the site to become an attractive and interesting venue for students and tourists.

The Generic Wind Project The Worldwide Production Hub is also investing Carbon Credits in the Generic Wind project in China, which is crucial to avoid catastrophic consequences caused by carbon emissions. Windfarms replace energy derived from fossil fuels, whilst limiting local air pollution and creates long-term job opportunities for contractors, suppliers and residents in the area. The aim of the project is to reduce longterm harmful air quality conditions.
Benefits: ¡ Improves China’s carbon emissions, which ultimately affects the world’s emissions. ¡ It’s a clean fuel source and is cost-effective. ¡ Promotes renewable wind energy technology. ¡ Progresses community health and local economy.

Solar Power 99KW Solar Photovoltaic System
Through the Federal Government’s Clean Technology Investment Program initiative, for Cleaner Energy Printing, Worldwide received a $147,144 grant towards the cost of a $380,557 solar farm. A 99kW solar photovoltaic system was installed by Solargain PV Pty Ltd in August 2013. The system comprises of 396 Suntech Solar panels – 60kW of these are ground mounted and 39kW are roof mounted. Seven SMA inverters undertake power conversion and the system has a state-of-the-art control system and live monitoring equipment.
Benefits:
¡ Solar farming is beneficial to the environment. ¡ The sun is a clean, renewable source of energy that has very few negative effects. ¡ Creating more solar energy for release into the power grid reduces the amount of energy from non-renewable sources. ¡ Solar farms generate clean, green electricity all day - every day. 8

Certified Colour Printer ISO 12647-2-2013
The Worldwide Production Hub prints to ISO 12647-2-2013 Standards. We were one of the first printers in Australia to be certified. We have received training in the practical implementation of ISO 126472-2013 and operation of the Print Spec Colour QA System. Our printing equipment and consumables have been optimised to meet the targets and tolerances set out by ISO International Standards. We use D50 lighting in colour critical areas for viewing prints and proofs. Our colour measurement instruments are regularly calibrated and certified by the manufacturer and reviewed every six months by a specialist for revision, training and review. We pride ourselves in printing to consistent colour standards and conforming to ISO certifications.
Benefits:
¡ ISO International Standards ensures that products and services are safe, reliable and of good quality. ¡ For business, ISO Standards are strategic tools that reduce costs by minimising waste and errors and increase productivity. ¡ ISO 12647 provides printers with a set of quality control guidelines for their printing processes. 10
