Code of Practice for the Press Industry (COPPI)

The Code of Practice for the Press Industry (COPPI) and a new set of Environment Standards for the Press Industry (ESPI) were launched on the 1st of September 2009. They were agreed following a lengthy period of consultation across ten industry associations who came together as a joint industry committee.

COPPI are designed to bring greater consistency to our industry, particularly in relation to the supply chain. It will also reinforce the highest possible standards of customer service, by ensuring that all our customers have the optimum access to our newspapers and magazines.

The new ESPI are designed to promote the efficient and consistent management of the environmental issues that affect the press industry. These standards will also help to ensure the continued free flow of information in this country; essential to the health of our democracy.
