Purchasing renewable energy helps us cut emissions in locations where installing solar panels isn’t possible or only helps us meet some of our energy needs.
Barcelona
In 2015, our European headquarters in Barcelona was the first Vistaprint office to switch to buying energía verde.
100% of the energy purchased comes from renewable sources, compared to the 32% of the general Spanish market in 2017.

More ways we’re helping
Going solar
We’ve installed large-scale solar arrays at our facilities in Melbourne, Australia and Montego Bay, Jamaica.
LED Lighting
Since 2017 we’ve invested heavily in LED lighting in our most energy-intensive facilities.
Offset LED printing
Converting our offset printing processes to LED has reduced our carbon footprint by 473 tCO2e per year.
