Has the coronavirus pandemic had a significant impact on your business?
Ivy Life & Style Media depends on small businesses, many in the hospitality industry, so lockdowns and the economic slowdown have had a big impact. Since the spring, we have rebuilt our websites, so something good emerged. And, we have gone digital with some titles, short-term, due to the pandemic. For example, CharlottesvilleFamily’s Bloom! magazine was distributed through grocery stores and schools, but with school closings, we had to go digital.

Do you have a sustainability checklist for the printers that print your publications?
With all suppliers, we look for good employers, for good community members, for businesses that are implementing sustainable practices. The printers we partner with, Lane Press and Panaprint, have sound environmental operations, including the use of soy-based inks, and high-quality standards. For some perspective on the circular economy, Panaprint alone ships about 12 tractor trailer loads of paper trimmings for recycling every week.

All our publications are printed on paper with recycled content. Wine & Country Life magazine’s text pages are printed on Rolland Enviro Satin® made with 100% post-consumer recycled fiber.

In Wake of Kentucky Flooding, Walmart Offers Aid to Associates and Communities

In times of crisis, we believe in stepping forward to help communities in need. And as we watched floodwaters rise in Kentucky, we knew it was again time to take action. Hundreds of people – from our associates to community members who make our stores part of their daily routine – have lost their homes, lost power or lost access to clean water. That’s where we decided to place our focus. Walmart, Sam’s Club and the Walmart Foundation have committed $750,000 in water, food and funding to organizations providing relief, and we’re working to make essential resources like showers and laundry available in our parking lots and supporting shelters. Since last week, more than 20 Walmart trucks carrying water and essential supplies have arrived in some of the hardest-hit Kentucky communities. And there are more on the way.
