As a home‑based freelance graphic designer, I follow a Digital‑First & Low‑Impact Sustainability Policy that guides how I operate and deliver projects.

• I prioritize digital deliverables over print wherever feasible and advise clients on right‑sizing print runs to avoid waste.

• When print is required, I recommend FSC‑certified or recycled stocks and work with printers who offer sustainable inks and production practices.

• My business is fully remote, minimizing commuting and office energy use; I rely on cloud services instead of dedicated servers to lower energy and hardware consumption.

• I maintain a mostly paperless workflow (e‑signatures, digital invoicing and archiving) and extend equipment lifecycles through repair and reuse before replacement.

• I review this policy annually and look for practical improvements that further reduce my environmental footprint.
