Explaining our Eco Ratings

Protecting our planet is so important to us, but we can’t do that if we don’t educate our people. 

We’re committed to providing our clients with a diverse range of eco-friendly and sustainable options for their branded merchandise and helping them with their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) objectives.

How do we do this?

Firstly, when it comes to the process of choosing products that are right for you and your brand, we always want to make our clients’ lives easier by providing them with as much information about each of our products as we possibly can.

This is where our Eco Ratings come into it…

Our handy eco-rating icons tell you at a glance whether a product is made of recycled, sustainable or biodegradable materials, plus where they’re manufactured – which can make a massive difference to how green a particular product is. 

We can also advise you on the most eco-friendly way to manufacture and ship your finished products too.

 

1. Manufactured in the EU 

Indicates the product is made in the European Union.

2. Manufactured in the UK
