Better tomorrows start with meaningful actions today
We view sustainability as a result of our actionable choices. Join us as we responsibly work towards a better, healthier tomorrow.
A Lens of Sustainability
- As a Merchandise Agency, we must address sustainability in multiple ways.
- From a corporate perspective, we must inform our own operations and strategies to challenge ourselves to reduce our footprint and decrease our impact on the communities in which we work and live.
- From a services and merchandise perspective, we must provide options for our clients which enable them to meet their own sustainability goals.
- From a philanthropic and education perspective, we must extend our influence to encourage our partners and team members to consider their own impacts.
We are honored to be rated by EcoVadis at a Platinum level for our European operations, and Gold for our North American operations. While these are the highest ratings possible, we strive to learn and improve our sustainability initiatives continuously.
More about EcoVadis Ratings
We recognize the importance transparency plays in accountability, and are committed to annual reporting through a public ESG report that includes our GHG footprint.
Because our footprint and practices carry weight, we have begun global reporting through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and will begin CDP Supply Chain reporting in 2024.
