Environment and Sustainability

Our Vision for the Future

Playing our part in conserving the natural diversity of our environment and mitigating climate change is paramount to all of us at Nomos Publishing Group. Moved by an internal call-to-action, our Environmental Protection Group meets regularly to identify common goals and objectives, share ideas and discuss solutions for a greener company.

Sustainable Materials

Almost all our books and journals are printed either on 100% recycled paper or on paper that has been harvested and produced in a responsible manner (i.e. FSC-certified or in accordance with PEFC Standards).

Reduced Plastic Waste

Since 2018, Nomos Publishing Group has refrained from using shrink wrap to seal its books, with exceptions being made only on the rarest occasions. 

Smaller Carbon Footprint

We produce our books and journals exclusively in Europe, with a majority of our products published regionally in Germany. The shorter travel distances enables us to reduce our carbon emissions.

Carbon-Neutral Transport

Parcel deliveries and warehouse distributions are carbon-neutral thanks to DHL GoGreen. In order to minimise waste, we re-use scrap paper from our printer’s in Nördlingen as filling material for parcel deliveries.

Eco-Friendly Power Supply

We are in the midst of installing a photovoltaic system on the roof of our publishing house. Besides that, we are proud that our website is hosted by a member of the Climate Neutral Data Center Pact. Up to 65% of website host’s power stems from renewable energy sources. 

Filtered Tap Water

Our sinks are outfitted with special filters that produce either sparkling or still tap water. This way, employees are able to continue enjoying high-quality drinking water while saving on the plastic waste that bottled water inevitably produces as well as the resulting carbon emissions from their transport.
