The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP) has elected Birdley James of Miller Zell (Atlanta) to its board of directors. James — who serves as SGP/EHS’s (Environmental Health & Safety) coordinator and compliance manager and leads retail experience solutions company Miller Zell’s sustainability efforts — will be tasked with supporting SGP certification and helping drive a more sustainable future for the print industry.

In return, we are all given a better and brighter tomorrow.”
