Match your brand’s values to promos with Better Choices™
Inside many organizations, interest in sustainability is growing. For some, this means taking the first steps on a more environmentally friendly journey. For others, it means continuously improving sourcing decisions and reporting on sustainability and workplace culture. Whether beginning the journey or well on their way, these organizations share a desire to make choices that lead to a better future.
If your organization is among the many interested in sustainability, we’ve created Better Choices™ to help. With Better Choices, you can easily filter promotional products to find those that match your organization’s values. With each Better Choices designation, you’ll also find supporting information about product characteristics, details about third-party standards and certification programs, and other helpful information.
Choosing promotional products containing recycled materials is one way to demonstrate your brand’s commitment to sustainability. The Better Materials designation includes a collection of promotional products made from recycled materials including polyester, ocean-bound plastics, paper, cotton, stainless steel, tires and more.

They have curated and added thousands of product and supplier standards, certifications and other attributes related to sustainability, environmental impact and more.
