At RRD, we are proud of our commitment to the safety of our employees and to protecting our environment. Over our long history, as expectations in these areas have grown, RRD has led the way in setting and striving for the highest safety performance and for the lowest environmental impact.
At RRD, we strive to minimize our impact to the environment. We utilize pollution control systems as one tool to help us minimize our impact on the environment and the community, especially in our global locations. Installation and operation of control systems in our global locations allows us to provide environmental performance equal to that seen in our best performing facilities in the United States.
We have achieved 90-95% energy savings through the use of energy efficient pollution control equipment in our offset printing operations. This energy savings has allowed us to significantly reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases.
We are also currently managing air permits for all affected facilities. These permits require substantial reporting requirements, including mandatory self-reporting of non-compliance.
We've made great strides in reducing environmental emissions and conserving natural resources. Our goal is for our operations to meet all government-set standards globally. In many cases our performance goes well beyond what is required of us.
The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) is a publicly available EPA database that contains information on toxic chemical releases and other waste management activities reported annually by certain covered industry groups as well as federal facilities. This inventory was established under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and expanded by the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990. RRD routinely works to ensure our locations are in compliance with TRI reporting requirements, where applicable.
As a requirement of the Ontario Toxics Reduction Act, production facilities located in Ontario, Canada which emit and use certain chemicals over regulated thresholds are required to develop plans to reduce the use and creation of these chemicals (i.e., those listed in Schedule 1 of the National Pollutant Release Inventory Notice).

Our health and safety results mean the most to us because they help us to measure how well we are keeping our employees safe. While we report our numbers as a rate (which helps us to standardize our global reporting with the U.S. Government method for calculating injury rates), what they really come down to is the number of people who are hurt. Lower rates mean fewer injuries and more people are able to work and support their loved ones. Traditional "temporary" (or subcontracted) employees are also included in these numbers. In the chart below you can see our continuous improvement in our recordable case rate over the past several years. These numbers tell a great story, but we still believe we can do better!
The "Recordable Case Rates" is a rate, per 100 employees, of the number of times an employee received treatment beyond basic first aid for a work-related injury or illness (a "case").
One of our key measures of employee health and safety is the amount of time (measured in years and in employee work hours) that we work without an injury that results in a recordable injury case (RC) or an injury that results in day(s) away from work (DAC).
