Social Responsibility

Does Sustainability factor into Utter Fiction’s business practices?

Whilst Utter Fiction is primarily an on-line business, we have held discussions with our suppliers to ensure (as far as possible) that sustainable business practices are followed.
In relation to the printing arm of our business, wood pulp/ paper is sourced from sustainable forests and certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council).
The Press Sheds where our Indigo Printers are housed have full solar power coverage using 150KW panels.
Whereas our softcover A5 books were once shrink-wrapped in plastic in preparation for delivery, they are now packed in rigid cardboard mailers.

What is Utter Fiction’s policy on Carbon Zero?

For the sake of our Environment, Carbon Zero is the ultimate goal of all responsible business.
Our suppliers adhere to Forest Stewardship Council guidelines. When trees from sustainable forests are harvested, others are planted in their place to effectively create a cycle of Carbon Dioxide filters.
In addition, wood products (including paper) store carbon as an integral part of their structure.
As much as we’d like our clients to enjoy their books forever, we do appreciate that all good things must end! Our printed book products are fully recyclable.

What laws govern the operation of Utter Fiction Pty Ltd?

As an Australian-based business incorporated in New South Wales, we adhere to the Fair Work Act, Work Health & Safety regulations and abide by all Anti-Discrimination Laws.
Utter Fiction categorically condemns modern slavery in all its forms. Forced labour, child, labour, debt bondage and sexual exploitation is abhorrent to our corporate values.
