ABOUT US
At MyImprint, we began with one clear purpose: helping businesses see the mark they leave on the environment, and showing them how to make it lighter
Born in Tairāwhiti Gisborne, MyImprint began with a simple idea: that businesses wanted to make a positive impact, but needed a clear pathway to get there. Founder and local, Andrew Lawton, saw that desire and created a blueprint for turning it into real change.
As the mahi grew, so did our team. With Anna Byers joining as General Manager, MyImprint expanded its reach beyond Gisborne, supporting organisations across Aotearoa New Zealand and now even further, with projects overseas.
Today, we’re a collective of passionate experts based in New Zealand, Japan, and Italy. What connects us is a shared purpose: helping businesses take meaningful steps on their sustainability journey. From measuring to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we empower organisations to leave a lighter footprint for our communities now, and for the generations that follow
"We believe that successful business now and in the future will be founded on sound environmental policy. In response to a growing customer awareness, it's important to begin the journey toward a more sustainable business model, not only for customer satisfaction but also for the well-being of our planet. And our team can help you with that."
- Andrew Lawton, founder of MyImprint
