Partner Profile Original Smith Printing is a full-service commercial printer serving customers nationwide with locations in Chicago and central Illinois. OSP currently purchases green power for 24 percent of the company's annual electricity use. Original Smith Printing began purchasing green power in 2007 to bring an intentional awareness of the environment to the company, its employees, and customers. This awareness has, in turn, created endless opportunities to reduce, recycle, and reuse. Making a commitment to green power helped force OSP to look at all aspects of its business and find other areas where it can be more environmentally responsible. The company has found that being aware of the environment is contagious and that green opportunities are continually showing themselves. Through buying green power, Original Smith Printing learned that it is easy to become proactive and make an impact on the future of our environment.
