These days, products that are eco-friendly and sustainable are valued very highly. People are beginning to understand the impact we are making on the planet, and have more of a desire to make lifestyle changes to support sustainability.
Businesses are also beginning to take notice about the importance of eco-friendly choices, and supporting other companies and communities that share those same values. When it comes to corporate gifts, giving is even better when you choose to purchase products from companies that are making a real difference in the world - and making it an even better place for all.
Suppliers That Care: Corporate Gifts from Companies That Give Back
Patagonia
Founded in 1973, Patagonia quickly became a brand loved by minimalist adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts. Their products have always been designed to be clean yet colorful, durable and high-performing. A certified B Corp, Patagonia has always returned their love for the planet by donating at least 1% of their profits to sustaining grassroots environmental groups. Their products are made with recycled polyester and organic cotton, and they even offer repairs to support ongoing use for years into the future.
On top of setting a new standard for outdoor apparel, Patagonia is working towards making all of their products 100% Fair Trade Certified. This is no small feat, but they’ve already accomplished doing so for their entire swimwear line. Patagonia also created Worn Wear, a way for customers to donate or purchase used and repaired products in order to make even less of an impact on the planet.
Patagonia’s values are solidified consistently with their actions, and their advocacy efforts are in line with creating a better world for all.

The North Face
Since 1966, The North Face has set a high standard for outdoor gear, and responsibility to the planet. With this passion for exploration they have built a reputation not only for creating an amazingly diverse line of outerwear, skiwear, sleeping bags, packs, and tents - they have also built a foundation of sustainability and ongoing accountability in protecting our planet.
The North Face not only has offset 100% of the emissions from their business travel and employee commuting through The Conservation Fund, but they created The North Face Renewed (a collection of refurbished clothing, remade and updated), Clothes the Loop (a donation service for apparel and footwear reuse and recycling), and founded The Conservation Alliance along with other retailers to permanently protect land and waterways around the world.

Osprey functional and cutting-edge bags are crafted out of the highest quality products in the industry, and it shows.

Osprey has made a commitment in being an outdoor industry leader in sustainability, using recycled and recyclable packaging for their products, not using BPA, PVC/phthalates or triclosan, and limiting waste throughout the production process.

Sunski
Sunski has taken on the responsibility of keeping the outdoors better for everyone, including future generations.

These values are built into the foundation of what they do, and truly show in the high-quality products they make.
