Sessions & speakers | Saturday June 4th drupa cube engage | educate | entertain 14.00 - 14.30 Keynote C-Level Business Evolution Choose Sustainability – Innovation @ the Intersection While You Still Can Changes in environmental legislation are coming – will your business be ahead of the game? Speaker: Steve Wicks, Greenprint Consultancy The U.N. Climate Change Conference in Paris in December 2015 reached a new binding agreement, hailed by Francois Hollande as “a revolution for climate change”. But it will be businesses which will carry much of the responsibility and the cost for reducing greenhouse gas emissions as governments look to industry to fulfil their obligations under the new agreement. Instead of seeing sustainability as a cost, progressive businesses can choose to be ahead of the game, building a strong ethical platform to enhance customer perception and loyalty and driving out cost by reducing waste and increasing efficiency. This discussion will cover the pros and cons of adopting sustainable business practices. Steve has a wealth of experience in the printing Technology industry, having worked at board level in commercial and production roles encompassing contract, commercial, packaging and security printing. After setting up print management company Leanprint in 2004, he changed the focus of the business to offer environmentally responsible print production and re-branded as Greenprint Consultancy in 2007, gaining ISO14001 environmental certification. Steve was freelance project manager for the highly successful PrintIT! schools engagement programme and also acts as a consultant for businesses looking to implement or maintain ISO standards.

Will the same happen in packaging, or does analogue offer insurmountable advantages of cost and quality? Speaker: Sean Smyth, Marketing Analyst, Smithers Pira Sean Smyth is Print Consultant at Smithers Pira, the worldwide authority on the packaging, paper and print industry supply chains. There are many reasons to maintain the status quo. Spot colours and print quality are important, there are ink migration/food safety concerns and in flexible multi-layer constructions and coatings must be compatible with the toner or inks in digital. But digital offers new opportunities – cost effective short runs, versioning and personalisation that can be tailored to locations or events, increasing the consumer engagement. drupa will see new digital packaging production systems, along with the latest analogue offerings – be open and make your mind up which provides the best future business opportunities. Sean has spent over 30 years in the industry in senior technology positions for a variety of print businesses across the supply chain, in hands on and consultancy roles. After completing his PhD in Chemistry he joined the industry as an ink chemist in 1980, formulating UV inks and coatings and trying to support them in many print companies. In 1992 Sean obtained his MBA, self-financed through the Open Business School.

Unless we achieve both, the adoption process stalls. In many industries we have passed the tipping point and inkjet now dominates. Inkjet is used outside the graphics market for the production of ceramic tiles, textiles, laminate flooring and many other items. Quality requirements and economics vary by industry, however a driving factor in cost calculations is the business upheaval that potentially changes print runs from tens or hundreds of thousands to one. For some, changes in skill sets required to run and manage digital print, the introduction of digital print in businesses that are new to print or pre-press have created a steep learning curve. To find true economic advantage we must move away from traditional business models focussed on ROI and ink prices and consider re-engineering the business to exploit a new era of manufacturing and print.
