ESG policy

Our commitment towards the environment and sustainability has led us to prioritise the use of FSC certified papers in the printing of our books and use soy-based inks, which are more environmentally friendly than those derived from mineral oils. We choose to print locally in the South West for the majority of our publications to reduce transportation. By opting for shorter print runs we are able to better manage our stock levels and avoid potential waste.

Bristol Books are a socially responsible business working with a diverse range of local authors, editors, illustrators, and photographers. We nurture new and existing talent across the city and surrounding areas and are continually growing our network of contacts. We regularly employ freelancers within the creative community of Bristol on a project-by-project basis.

As a Community Interest Company Bristol Books is bound by our commitment to serving the community of Bristol as opposed to the limited company structure. Our four directors meet on a regular bi-monthly basis, where key decisions are agreed by all stakeholders involved.
