Sustainability has become a strategic priority for organizations of all sizes. In this context, Environmental Management Systems (EMS), such as those based on the ISO 14001 standard, have positioned themselves as key tools for structuring and improving environmental performance within companies. One of the fundamental pillars of these systems is continuous improvement, a principle that requires the ongoing identification of new ways to reduce environmental impact year after year.

Among the most common actions to obtain environmental certification are modernizing equipment, optimizing logistics processes, using energy-efficient sources, and reducing paper consumption. However, there are also less obvious areas that can significantly contribute to environmental goals-business cards being one of them. With Knowee, digitalizing simple processes-such as business cards-can actively support the continuous improvement required by EMS frameworks.

The paper paradox in the sustainability era

Despite the progress made in many corporate processes to reduce environmental impact, it is still common to print thousands of paper business cards-often recycled-for internal staff. This practice not only represents a recurring expense but also frequently contradicts established environmental policies.

According to an Ipsos study for Moo.com, over 17 million business cards are printed every day in the United States alone. This figure highlights the massive volume of paper used for a format that, in many cases, is discarded after a single use.
