(TSX: DCM; OTCQX: DCMDF)(“DCM” or the "Company"), a leading provider of marketing and business communications solutions, is pleased to announce that its client, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (“OLG”), has achieved a significant milestone through its participation in the PrintReleaf program: over 100,000 trees planted at reforestation projects around the world.

The PrintReleaf initiative is a key element of DCM’s comprehensive ESG strategy and is intended to help offset its environmental impact and reduce its carbon footprint. PrintReleaf offers a unique software platform that measures paper consumption in real time, calculates how many trees were harvested to produce that paper, and monitors reforestation partners to ensure an equivalent number of trees are planted at global reforestation projects.

Since OLG joined the program on November 12, 2021, PrintReleaf has planted 116,710 trees on its behalf at sites throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico, Madagascar, the Dominican Republic, and France. This is equivalent to offsetting the consumption of almost 4.4 million kilograms of paper.

“OLG understands the importance of taking action to minimize our environmental footprint,” says Sandeep Persaud, OLG’s Sustainability & Social Impact Director. “Participating in the PrintReleaf program, through our work with DCM, strengthens our commitment to promoting sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of our operations.”

DCM is a Platinum Channel Partner of PrintReleaf and offers participation in the program to all of its print clients at no additional cost. “We believe it’s our responsibility to operate more sustainably and we recognize that we’re a major part of our clients’ supply chains—which is why we’re happy to make this program available to them,” says Richard Kellam, President and CEO of DCM. “Congratulations to OLG on having made such a significant impact on global reforestation. We can’t wait to see more clients hit this impressive milestone.”
