Printing a Brighter Future: Picon Joins the CAFA Collective

London, UK - August 15, 2025 - Climate Action for Associations (CAFA) is excited to welcome Picon (the Printing Industry Confederation), to the CAFA Collective. Established in 1980, Picon is a leading UK trade association representing nearly 100 manufacturers of printing equipment, including major brands such as Canon, HP, and Kodak. As an association dedicated to supporting its members, Picon offers a wide range of benefits, including events, speakers, and networking opportunities, while advocating for the sector on key issues.

Why this partnership matters

Picon’s members are at the forefront of the printing technology sector, and as sustainability becomes increasingly important, many of Picon's members are seeking guidance on reducing their environmental impact. While some larger companies are already progressing along their own sustainability paths, Picon’s interest in joining CAFA is to provide its members with the support they need in areas like footprinting, achieving net zero, and navigating evolving sustainability regulations.

As Picon continues to focus on issues, such as regulatory changes and sustainability strategies through its focus groups, the partnership with CAFA will help strengthen their members’ efforts in meeting climate goals.

Collaborating for climate action

By joining CAFA, Picon is reinforcing its commitment to helping its members address climate action and sustainability challenges. This collaboration will provide valuable resources, networking opportunities, and expert guidance on carbon reduction strategies and the transition to a sustainable future for the printing equipment manufacturing sector.

"Joining CAFA is more than a choice - it’s a commitment to a healthier planet and a sustainable future. Together our voices are amplified and we can drive meaningful change and support the urgent need for environmental responsibility". Bettine Pellant, CEO at Picon.
