Sustainability
Climate change is the most significant challenge facing our generation and we all have a responsibility to help protect the world around us. At Lougher, we are committed to climate protection, and have a number of key business practices that support this initiative.
Lougher Contemporary is dedicated to eco-conscious packaging practices, utilising recyclable and sustainable materials whenever possible. We opt for starch-based packing peanuts that dissolve harmlessly in water, reducing waste and environmental impact. The majority of our packaging for shipping unframed prints is crafted from cardboard, a renewable and easily recyclable resource. This eco-friendly choice not only ensures the safety of artworks during transit but also aligns with our ethos of minimising our ecological footprint.
For all artworks packed in-house and shipped with DHL, Lougher opts to GoGreen, paying a surcharge to offset the carbon emission for the shipment.
By opting in to DHL’s GoGreen service, Lougher supports climate protection projects around the world, contributing to carbon reduction and accomplishing a lot more: the projects help to improve the health and quality of life of local people in less developed countries, support technology transfer, employment creation and additional income, enable a green energy supply, and foster the protection of local environments.
