You have spent years working on your research. It is only natural to want your thesis not just to look good, but also to be produced responsibly. From the paper we print on to the electricity that runs our presses, at Gildeprint we make deliberate, verifiable choices. On this page we show you exactly what we do — and how we prove it.
All the electricity Gildeprint uses is backed by EU Wind Guarantees of Origin, issued by Groenbalans — covering 894 MWh in 2026. These certificates are externally verified and officially documented.
What this means for you: under the GHG Protocol, our market-based Scope 2 emissions — the emissions from the energy we consume — are zero. This is a certified fact, not just a promise. And we don’t stop there: we also measure and reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions.
All of our paper is FSC®-certified. The FSC® label (Forest Stewardship Council) guarantees that paper comes from responsibly managed forests, where ecological, social and economic interests are kept in balance.
Want to go a step further? We also offer 100% recycled paper. And if you like, we can print the FSC® logo in your thesis — so you, and your doctoral committee, can see the conscious choice you made.
We map our complete CO₂ footprint using ClimateCalc, the recognised calculation tool for the printing industry. We measure across all three scopes:
Measuring all three gives us an honest, complete picture — and a real basis for ongoing reductions.
Gildeprint’s production processes are certified to ISO 9001, the international standard for quality management. Annual external audits keep our processes consistent and continuously improving — so your thesis is produced to the same high standard, every time.
As a PhD candidate you have more influence than you might think. By choosing FSC®-certified or recycled paper, and a printer that is open about its impact, you help build a more responsible printing industry.
Do you have questions about sustainable thesis printing, or would you like to know which options suit your situation best? We are happy to help.
