2022 GOALS
Our Responsible Sourcing Progress
UPDATED OUR SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT TO INCLUDE A RESPONSIBLE SOURCING POLICY
SEND UPDATED COC TO OUR NEXT TIER SUPPLIERS While most of our supplier spend is with current Code of Conduct signatories, our goal is to have our top 40 suppliers (who represent over 90% of our sales) have a current and signed Code of Conduct on file. We have not engaged our 2nd Tier Suppliers, this goal will move to 2025/2026 along with developing a Supplier Assessment Questionnaire for decoration partners. ONBOARD A MIN. OF 6 ‘IMPACT’ SUPPLIERS ANNUALLY We are known for offering the widest range of sustainable products and brands in the promotional merchandise industry. To maintain our differentiation, our goal is to onboard at least six impact suppliers a year. In 2024, we on boarded 9 new impact suppliers to our vendor list.
BUILD A SYSTEM TO TRACK PRODUCT LEVEL SUSTAINABILITY METRICS
In 2024, system upgrades enabled accurate product-level tracking of sustainable items, such as recycled, organic, regenerative organic, biodegradable, compostable, and zero-waste products. Analysis showed that 42.5% of significant product sales (representing 80% of revenue) carried a certified sustainable attribute, primarily recycled or organic content. By comparison, a 2022 manual review found 34% of sales included recycled materials or certified organic cotton.
