Our Approach to Sustainability

Independently audited · not self-declared

Promotional merchandise has a reputation for ending up in landfill, and we think that reputation is largely deserved — for products that were never designed to be kept in the first place. Our approach is to make sustainability a sourcing standard rather than a marketing label, backed by independent audits rather than self-declared claims on a spec sheet.

Our Accreditations

EcoVadis Platinum — Top 1% Worldwide ISO 14001 Environmental Management ISO 9001 Quality Management Sedex Member (SMETA) BPMA Member

Our EcoVadis Platinum rating places us in the top 1% of companies assessed globally across environmental impact, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement — reassessed periodically rather than a one-off badge. ISO 14001 certification covers our environmental management system, and our Sedex membership supports supply-chain visibility and ethical trading practices (SMETA audits) across our supplier base.

How We Vet Eco Claims

On our product catalogue, we flag genuine eco credentials — GRS (Global Recycled Standard), RCS (Recycled Claim Standard), FSC-certified paper and card, OEKO-TEX textiles, Fairtrade, and verified rPET, recycled cotton, aluminium and steel — separately from broader sustainability claims like "eco-friendly" wording in a product description. That distinction matters: a certification means an independent body has checked the claim; wording on its own doesn't.

Worth knowing: where a supplier provides a verified lifecycle carbon footprint (kg CO₂-eq, calculated to ISO 14067 and independently audited), we surface that figure on the product page rather than a generic "eco" badge.

Eco-Friendly Product Ranges

We stock a growing range of products built around recycled and natural materials — rPET fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles, recycled cotton and organic cotton textiles, bamboo, cork, wheat straw and jute homeware and office items, recycled aluminium and steel drinkware, and plantable seed-paper products. Browse the full range, or read our guide to genuinely eco-friendly promotional products for a longer explanation of what these certifications actually mean.
