Eco-friendly Promotional Products That Give Back

Organizations aim to make decisions that reflect their core values and commitments beyond business. By offering eco-friendly and socially responsible promotional giveaways, brands can seamlessly align their marketing efforts with their company culture, increase brand loyalty, and support green initiatives for a better future. 

Looking for another competitive edge? Sustainable branded gifts that have a charitable component impress conscious consumers and employees, cementing a company’s commitment to environmental stewardship, social and cultural wellness, and sustainable business practices.  

Here’s a closer look at some standout choices that make a positive impact on local and global communities while reducing corporate environmental footprints and advancing ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goals: 

1. Basecamp double wall stainless steel water bottles are BPA free, Prop. 65 compliant and hold up to 20 ounces. Encourage users to reduce waste and cut ties from single-use plastic water bottles with reusable drinkware solutions like these. Plus, every order of insulated stainless steel water bottles gives back to the Wounded Warrior Project, an American non-profit organization dedicated to providing resources for brave veterans and service members who served in military conflicts. 

2. Stainless steel Perka® utensil sets are ideal for taking on the go. Every reusable utensil set comes with a cotton pouch for easy transport and comes with a fork, spoon, knife, two straws, and two straw cleaners. Engage with eco-conscious audiences with a purposeful promotional product. Also, a portion of all proceeds are donated to Shelter to Soldier, an organization that rescues and trains dogs to become service animals for veterans in need. 

3. Eco-friendly tech products are attention-grabbing promotions for any event. Looking to boost foot traffic during tradeshows and conferences or boost employee engagement? Consider having recycled wireless Bluetooth earbuds from Skullcandy as promotional giveaways. Made from 50% certified recycled materials, ethically produced earbuds are perfect for daily use and display brand commitments to sustainability. Every order of Skullcandy rechargeable and recycled earbuds gives back to Protect Our Winters and 1% for the Planet, two organizations dedicated to protecting the natural environment. 

4. Recycled lay flat notebooks, proudly made in the USA, feature FSC-certified pages with compostable inks, durable binding, and various design capabilities. USA-made notebooks are practical, cost-effective, high-quality promotional items for organizations with goals to reduce waste, lower greenhouse gas emissions, or support American workers. A portion of sales goes towards building and funding global education projects. 

5. Customize USA-made skin hydration sticks to encourage clean self-care and ethical beauty production. USA-made hydration sticks are made in a B Corp-certified factory with ultra-moisturizing and petroleum-free ingredients. They are amazing for sports races, charity events, and wellness expos. One percent of profits go to Heifer International’s efforts to support honeybee populations and provide resources for beekeepers worldwide. 

6. ChicoBag rePETe foldaway totes are impactful, sustainable promotional items with many environmental and social advantages. Made by a B Corp with 99% GRS-certified materials, reusable foldaway totes are ethically produced with 60% less energy usage and a 63% reduction in carbon emissions. They are perfect for everyday use, welcome gifts, and swag bags. One percent of annual sales from the rePETe line goes directly to support environmental charities. Also, an additional contribution is given to 1% for the Planet for every recycled foldaway tote sold. 

7. Employees who wear their values look and feel better. Recycled sweater fleece full-zip jackets are available in men’s and women’s fits for inclusive styling and are made in BWI and WRAP-certified factories. Eco-friendly fleece jackets are known for their comfortable fit and sustainable style. Crafted from 80% recycled materials, each jacket is made from 33 to 42 recycled water bottles. Plus, through a partnership with 1% for the Planet, one percent of recycled full-zip jacket sales will be donated to nonprofits committed to protecting the environment. 

Each of these eco-friendly promotional items serves a functional purpose and supports significant environmental and social causes. Companies can confidently promote their genuine connection to serving people and the planet with double donation promos from Eco Promotional Products, Inc. (EPP). 

Approximately 25% of EPP’s selection of sustainable promotional products has a charitable component. Also, don’t forget for every order, no matter how big or small, EPP donates a tree seedling toward Trees for the Future’s Forest Garden Approach.  

For every order over $10,000, 10 tree seedlings will be donated.
