“We are deeply committed to fostering a culture of sustainability and minimizing our impact on the environment. Our strong and impactful sustainability program includes a formal strategy with goals, metrics and third-party verification of results. Following this approach ensures continuous evaluation and improvement of our efforts,” said Stephen McDonell, vice president of engineering and sustainability.

Resource ManagementTaylor Communications has made a continued effort to grow our green initiatives while looking for new ways to reduce non-recyclable waste and lessen or eliminate environmental hazards. Here are some of the ways we accomplished that goal in 2017.

• Diverted 683 tons of waste to waste-to-energy facilities

• Met our goal to divert 85 percent of all waste from landfills to be either recycled or used for energy

• Recycled more than 10,000 pounds of paper, plastics & metals*Stats for TC1 only. In 2017, we were baselining newly acquired sites.

LANDFILL-FREE INITIATIVESTaylor Communications’ facilities in

Jeffersonville, Ind., Shelbyville, Ind.,

Tampa, Fla. and York, Pa. are considered

“landfill-free.” This means that all waste

from those locations is diverted away from

trash dumps and is either recycled or sent

to a facility to be consumed for energy.

Carbon Footprint/GHGWe have also identified and calculated our carbon footprint in response to the annual global supply chain survey from CDP, formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project. Clearly identifying and measuring our sources of Green House Gas Emissions allows Taylor Communications to target the main sources and focus on developing and implementing programs to reduce these emissions. We believe that participation in this program takes us to the next level of environmental responsiveness.

Responsible Forest Management PracticesMore than 80 percent of Taylor Communications’ production facilities

in the U.S. have obtained certifications with the Forest Stewardship

Council® (FSC) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI). Among

those that are not certified are facilities that are not appropriate for the

program since they have limited paper use in production, such as label

facilities that print on synthetic materials.

Through the FSC and SFI chain of custody systems, Taylor

Communications connects responsible forest management practices

and products with our customers. With those certifications, we not

only show our dedication to protecting the environment, but we also

enable our customers to demonstrate their commitment to

environmentally and socially responsible forest management and

label their products with the FSC or SFI trademark.

FSC and SFI certified papers act as an alternative to recycled paper

providing the opportunity to show commitment to lessening the

environmental impact of daily operations without the added costs of

post-consumer materials.

About Sustainable Forestry Initiative®

SFI is one of the world’s largest forest certification programs and is

internationally recognized and accepted. This offers the advantage of

a steady supply of certified products to meet the growing consumer

demand. By choosing SFI-certified products, companies of all sizes can

use their buying power to improve forest management while sending

a clear signal to customers that they care about forests.

About Forest Stewardship Council Certification®

FSC was created to change the dialogue and practices around

sustainable forestry worldwide, setting forth principles, criteria and

standards that span economic, social and environmental concerns.

The certification standards represent the world’s strongest system for

guiding forest management toward sustainable outcomes.

Special Focus:Conflict MineralsTantalum, tungsten, tin and gold are mined in African countries under

some of the most horrific and abusive conditions imaginable: torture,

genocide, slave labor and child labor. Because their extraction helps

finance conflict in that region, these metals are classified as “conflict

minerals.”

Yet these troubled minerals are essential to manufacturing. Tantalum

is used in capacitors and dental and surgical implants. Tungsten is

found in fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs. Most electronic

devices contain small amounts of gold, and tin is used in many alloys.

Traces of tin are also found in some label adhesives and ink toners.

In an effort to hold U.S. companies accountable for their use of these minerals and their possible contribution to

human-rights abuses in Africa, President Obama in 2010 signed into law the Dodd-Frank Consumer Protection Act.

Starting on May 31, 2014, all publicly traded companies became obligated to tell the U.S. Securities and Exchange

Commission (SEC) if their products contain these conflict minerals and where they were obtained.

Taylor Communications is equipped to help our clients investigate and eliminate the use of conflict minerals ensuring

regulatory compliance. Our team has the expertise to thoroughly uncover these often overlooked elements in

manufacturing supply chains.

“Giving back is a hallmark of our commitment to the communities where we live, work and play. We believe that it’s critical to get involved. From reading in grade schools to raising money and awareness about health issues and volunteering to serve food to the homeless, our team believes in helping improve the lives of our neighbors.

– Mark Keeton, Vice President

Helping Hands,Smiling FacesWe are committed to improving the communities in which we live,

work and play. In addition to creating jobs and paying taxes in the

communities where we operate, we contribute through charitable

giving, volunteerism and civic leadership. We recognize our

responsibility to enrich our communities and support the work

of charitable non-profit organizations including the United Way,

American Red Cross and other civic organizations such as the

Chamber of Commerce.

Each year, our employees devote hundreds of hours in service to our

communities. We support a range of organizations focused on non-

profit health and human services to those that address the needs of

children and at-risk youth, particularly those with an economically or

socially disadvantaged background.

Taylor Communications employees also volunteer their time and

share their talents in public schools and educational and charitable

programs across the United States. Our team also frequently

organizes food shelf efforts and blood drive donations. To demonstrate

our commitment to our communities, we show support for the

volunteer efforts of our employees with monetary contributions,

in-kind support and scheduling flexibility.

Employees in Dayton, Ohio collected more than 200

winter items for Edison PreK-6 School during their

second annual Winter Warmth drive.

Each year, employees in Dayton, Ohio, participate in Battle

of the Businesses to support the local Special Olympics

teams. The Battle team organized a contest with the Taylor

Communications Sales organization to raise money for the

cause. The sales team was split into teams and competed

against each other to see who could raise the most money

in two weeks. The fundraiser collected more than $8,400

for the Dayton Special Olympics! The winning team

collected $1,400 for the cause.

Our team in York, Pa. held a food drive and donated

340 pounds of food, paper goods, and personal hygiene

products to the York County Food Bank.

Jeff Gibbs, a material handler at the York plant, served as

the road captain for York County’s Harley Davidson 21st

Annual Toy Run. There were 528 bikes (with 744 people)

who participated in the event. The group rode from York

toys and a generous check. Jeff is pictured on the right

holding the check for $17,940!

Our Helping Hands Committee in York, Pa., spent time

making the holiday season a little brighter for three local

families. They adopted a family whose mother has cancer.

Through their efforts, they provided the mother and

each of her children with items from their wish list and a

grocery store gift card. The team also partnered with the

York fun committee to provide for two additional families.

Together, they held two sub sales and a bake sale and used

the profits as donations for the families. They also were

able to provide presents for the children of the families

and a stack of gift cards. In total, the York team was able to

donate more than $2000 to the three families.
