Shared values lay the groundwork for meaningful and enduring collaborations between businesses. Our partnership with Systematic, a creative business from the Lincolnshire Wolds, has flourished over two decades thanks to our mutual commitment to sustainability, creativity, and excellence.
A Love of Paper
Systematic plays a key role in ensuring our printed monthly statements are securely mailed, helping us leverage the tactile power of paper communication. Working alongside digital communications, paper provides a lasting impression - it’s saved, shared, and cuts through digital noise.
Paper is one of the few truly sustainable products, as wood is a natural and renewable material. Contrary to many greenwashing claims, European forests are growing, by over 1,500 football pitches every day. (Food & Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations data, 2005-2020)
The paper we use is FSC® certified, reflecting the highest standards of responsible forestry. This certification ensures that forests are managed sustainably, natural habitats are protected, and the rights of workers and local communities are respected.
Systematic is a member of Two Sides, a not-for-profit organisation that actively challenges organisations that share misleading anti-paper statements. Their work aligns with growing consumer sentiments; the 2023 Two Sides ‘Trend Tracker’ report found that 55% of European consumers believe companies switch to digital primarily to cut costs, while 76% want the choice to retain paper communications.
As members, our hope is that you value our responsible use of paper in our communications.
Systematic: A Good Business
Systematic’s dedication to people and the planet is evident in their accreditation with the Good Business Charter.
It’s an important backdrop to the creative design, printing, mailing and marketing support that helps their clients to grow and succeed. Within this offer sits oodle, a new design agency brand delivering ‘creativity with oomph’.
Jacqui Vear, Operations Director at Systematic, shared:
“Systematic is an SME with family values, proving that even small actions can create meaningful change. We champion sustainable business practices, especially in light of the climate emergency. Our goal is to operate as a verified carbon-neutral business by 2025, our 50th anniversary.
“This journey involves rigorous measurement of our greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) using the GHG Protocol methodology. Integrity and independent scrutiny are at the heart of our efforts. The support we receive from like-minded organisations like Woldmarsh keeps us focused and motivated. Together, we’re stronger.”
Shared Goals for a Sustainable Future
Our partnership with Systematic reflects our shared belief that sustainability isn’t just a responsibility—it’s an opportunity to innovate and thrive. By working together, we’re taking meaningful steps to support the environment while creating value for our customers and communities.
