NatMags Save Time With Our Impacts

The National Magazine Company, commonly known as “Natmags”, is one of the UK’s largest magazine distributors, publishing twenty mainstream titles including Cosmopolitan, Country Living, Esquire, Good Housekeeping and Harper’s Bazaar. The company has been operating for over 100 years and has a readership of over 14 million across all titles.

Ecometrica has been working with Natmags to monitor their emissions profile since 2008. During this time, Natmags has seen its overall emissions reduce consistently every year due to undertaking formal carbon accounting on a recurring basis, generating reduction plans and taking action – specifically taking steps to reduce their electricity, landfilled waste, air travel and hotel stays.
