Social Responsibility

We believe that everybody and more importantly every business has the responsibility of playing a part in creating a better more sustainable future.

Posmay Media is contributing in the following ways:

Paperless Business

Save trees & reduce your carbon footprint by using less paper. We do our best in keeping everything digital and paperless. Quotes, invoices, devlopment plans all get emailed out as electronic documents. To be honest, we don’t even own a printer.

“More than 100 million trees are destroyed each year to produce junk mail.”
“The paper industry ranks 4^th in contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute 9% of the manufacturing sector’s carbon emissions.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Our planet – with all it’s valuable resources – is limited. Planet Earth is an isolated island in a sea of space. Our overall consumption as well as our rate of consumption is increasing every year. Being stuck in a cradle to grave design approach combined with a throw away mentality is leading us to the ultimate resource exploitation and depletion.

The 3 R’s have been around forever, yet somehow we cannot seem to get our heads around these 3 very simple steps.

Reduce = 1st Priority, if you don’t really need it don’t consume it. Buy & use less stuff. Quality over quantity.

Reuse = 2nd Priority, buy products that will last and reuse things as often as possible. Disposable is a very polluting word!

Recycle = 3rd Priority, recycle materials (such as cans, glass, plastic & paper) that can be used to make new products. It’s really simple!

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns.

Building a Better Community

As a developing country in it’s young democracy, South Africa is facing multiple serious social issues including HIV/AIDS, Crime, Unemployment, Poor Education & Poverty. Thousands of people are stuck in a negative and destructive spiral of circumstances. Not forgetting the past, we need to move up and forward. Everybody can play their part in empowering the less fortunate.

Posmay Media is making a difference by donating time and skills to non-profit organizations that are working at a grass roots level, making a real difference in the community.
