Managing Director, Joe Clouston, is a Chartered Accountant with a Masters in Quality Management. Joe is the fourth generation of a publishing family and provides the direction and drive to keep The Printing Office among Brisbane's top printers, winning many industry awards along the way.

TPO is the first privately owned printer in Queensland to achieve ISO4001 Environment- the internationally recognised standard that certifies companies operating with the highest levels of environmental responsibility.

This milestone, reached in mid-2009, is further evidence of  TPO founder Joe Clouston’s long-term commitment to running the business on green principles.

“Printing has traditionally been seen as a dirty business, but it doesn’t have to be,’’ Joe says.

“Our goal has been to operate with as little impact on the environment as possible and to do this in a way that can be measured and with the benefits passed directly on to customers.’’

“Not only can we help customers reduce their own carbon footprint, but also we can do it without them having to pay any more for their printing.’’TPO has been dedicated to high environmental standards since its inception in 1985.

TPO won the Edmund Rice Business Ethics Award for the Environment in 1998 and has been a Green House Challenge Member since 2000 and an EPA Ecobiz member since 2008.

Joe Clouston is also chairman of Printing Industries (Queensland) Sustainable Green Print steering group. Sustainable Green Print is the Australian Printing Industry’s own recognisable certification program designed to help printing companies meet their environmental responsibilities and to go above and beyond compliance.
