We know it\u2019s our rAt Goldstar\u00ae, sustainability isn\u2019t just a goal, it\u2019s something we firmly believe in. We know it\u2019s our responsibility to make a difference, and we\u2019re excited to share some significant progress we\u2019ve made on this journey. From launching our very first Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report to earning a Bronze EcoVadis medal (NA), and securing FSC certification for our paper and bamboo goods, we\u2019re making real changes that matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our First ESG Report: A Commitment to Progress <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’re proud to share our first ESG report, a transparent look at our journey across products, people, and the planet. This report reflects our commitment to responsible practices, from how we design and produce to how we support our teams and minimise our environmental impact. It\u2019s an honest account of where we are and where we\u2019re headed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designing Products That Are Kinder to the Planet <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, we launched our Made Better\u2122 philosophy, our promise to create products using recycled, reclaimed, or certified materials. This initiative is all about delivering simple, impactful solutions that make a real difference, helping brands choose more sustainable options without compromising on style or quality. Our goal is simple: to inspire our partners with branded merchandise that\u2019s as good for their clients’ business as it is for the planet. Here\u2019s how we\u2019re making that happen, step by step: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • We’re growing our Made Better\u2122 collection with more recycled and responsibly sourced materials, and we’re bringing these options worldwide. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • We’re on track to achieve 80% recycled plastic<\/strong> in our packaging by Q3 FY 2025. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • We’re working towards 99% FSC-certified packaging<\/strong> by Q3 FY 2025. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • We’re committed to purchasing 95% FSC-certified products<\/strong> by Q4 FY 2025. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • We’re increasing post-consumer recycled content<\/strong> to 35%<\/strong> by Q4 FY 2025. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • We’re making it easier to see where our materials come from with Aware\u2122 Tracers and Digital Product Passports. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              People Matter, Too! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              We know that caring for the planet goes hand in hand with looking after people. A responsible approach means supporting the well-being of everyone involved, from those who make our products to the communities we serve. That\u2019s why we\u2019re committed to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Ethical Sourcing<\/strong> \u2013 Ensuring our suppliers uphold fair labour practices, safe working conditions, and respect for workers’ rights. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Championing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)<\/strong> \u2013 Fostering a workplace where everyone has a voice and the opportunity to thrive. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Giving Back<\/strong> \u2013 Partnering with impactful organisations like Repreve\u00ae and Ocean Bottle to support communities and help protect our oceans. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    Keeping Things Safe and Sound <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    We take product safety seriously. We’re committed to meeting all the important regulations, and our recent EcoVadis Bronze Medal (NA) isn’t just recognition, it’s proof that we are serious about sustainability. Placing us among the top 35% of assessed companies globally, it demonstrates our strong focus on environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical practices. This achievement ensures transparency and accountability, giving you the confidence that you’re partnering with a company actively working to improve our industry through responsible actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Adding to this commitment, our FSC\u00ae (Forest Stewardship Council) certification for paper and bamboo products guarantees that these materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests. This is a crucial step in our Made Better\u2122 initiative, providing you with more sustainable product choices and reinforcing our dedication to making a positive impact on the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Looking Ahead: More Transparency, More Progress <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    We\u2019re proud of how far we\u2019ve come, but we know this is just the beginning. Sustainability isn\u2019t a box to check, it\u2019s a journey, and we\u2019re committed to doing better every step of the way. This means continuously striving to make more informed choices, strengthening our efforts, and embracing new opportunities to create real impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    We\u2019ll keep sharing our progress, staying accountable, and finding new ways to make a difference. To see the full picture, explore our ESG report<\/strong> and join us on our sustainability journey!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
