FESPA Foundation launched with an aim to promote sustainability, community & education

With the FESPA Global Print Expo 2025 is set to unveil in just two months at Berlin, the association has announced the launch of The FESPA Foundation under the tagline ‘Print for Good’. The foundation has already supported Evane Intermediate School, a rural school serving 90 children in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The FESPA Foundation is a new sister organisation to FESPA, dedicated to encouraging sustainable practices throughout the speciality print and visual communications industry, and channelling resources into community support and educational outreach programmes.

The foundation is encouraging exhibitors to produce print applications that can enrich educational environments for children in underprivileged communities, thereby reducing printed waste from FESPA exhibitions worldwide. It felicitates the collection, transportation, distribution and installation of these print materials in the beneficiary communities, via international and local partners. It also collects monetary donations that further support the beneficiary communities, for distribution via credible local charities and community outreach programmes.
