Flexo Print named as socially responsible company

Flexo Print says it is one of the first converters in the country to achieve the ESR award – the Spanish acronym for socially responsible company.

The company was recognized for its commitment to both corporate social responsibility and environmental sustainability.

Social initiatives include a partnership with the local José Vasconcelos school; supporting children of staff in their studies; awarding scholarships to workers for high school studies; running internal and external campaigns promoting a culture of legality; and maintaining close relationships with workers’ unions.

Environmental initiatives include the careful disposal of hazardous waste, recycling programs, reduction of waste, energy saving projects and a reforestation campaign.

‘At Flexo Print, we have a definition of social responsibility,’ said sales director Gabriel Ramírez. ‘It is the conscious compromise between economic, social and environmentally sustainable management; taking into consideration the interests of the different groups of people with whom we deal; showing respect for people, for ethical values, for the community and for the environment; and contributing to the common good.’

Flexo Print, founded in 1994, has 200 employees and operates 14 printing presses at its plant outside Guadalajara. With flexo, offset, digital, silkscreen, embossing and hot and cold stamping capabilities, the company produces self-adhesive labels and shrink sleeves for the industrial and home care, health and beauty, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and wine and spirits sectors.

‘We believe in social responsibility and in the common good. We learn from our clients’ examples and always seek to improve,’ said Gabriel Ramírez.
