Introduction

In today’s environmentally conscious world, choosing eco-friendly promotional products is more important than ever. Sustainability in business is about managing impacts on the environment and society positively. This approach addresses pressing issues such as climate change, depletion of natural resources, and fair working conditions. According to recent surveys, a significant percentage of businesses consider sustainability to be "business critical" in 2024, highlighting its growing importance. Historically, buying eco-friendly products has cost more, but now, you can find sustainable versions at the same prices as their non-sustainable counterparts. Combining our industry insights and understanding of what our customers are buying, this guide will help you select sustainable options that align with your brand values and appeal to eco-conscious consumers.

Why Choose Eco-Friendly Promotional Products?

Corporate sustainability is not just about ensuring the long-term viability of a business. It also encompasses the impact that companies have on the environment and society. As Harvard Business School Professor Rebecca Henderson notes, doing well financially and doing good are intertwined – successful business strategies encompass both. This concept, known as the triple bottom line, suggests that organizations should focus not just on profits but also measure their environmental and social impact.

Implementing sustainable practices helps protect your brand, mitigate risks, and create a competitive advantage. For example, companies with high Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings consistently outperform the market in both medium and long term. A recent study found that 73% of global consumers are willing to change their consumption habits to lessen their impact on the environment, and sustainable product sales have grown by nearly 20% since 2014.
