We do this by:
- Contributing significantly to the brand awareness of our customers
- Delivering safe promotional products
- Consistently investing in our customers and employees by increasing our mutual knowledge of promotional gifts
- Communicating transparently about the sustainable impact of our products
- Connecting with our partners to develop professional solutions that generate trust and success
We are aware of our position and responsibility
We are aware of our position and responsibility in our value chain, towards our own employees, our customers and our suppliers. As a family company we feel that human rights, both in our own company as well as in our whole supply chain, are important topics of our ESG strategy. We do honest business.
However, it is not only about treating people right, we should also be aware of the impact we have on our environment by conducting our business. We set clear plans on how to make the impact on the environment, or better said our footprint, as low as possible.
We focus on empowering the branding of our customers, whilst embracing the sustainability challenges that the future holds.
Core values / our ESG promises
Within Favorite Gifts our core calues are Speed + Simplicity + Fun = Success. We place all our projects along the line of these core values and have defined internal promises based on these values.
We have also formulated separate ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) pledges on these core values for our sustainability policy. You can read them below:
Speed
We can react quickly on developments and will do the same in the area of sustainability.
Simplicity
We keep it simple. We deliver safe promotional products and will also select items that contribute to a transparent, climate-neutral and circular economy
Fun
We ensure good working conditions and circumstances to all our employees in the supply chain, incl. safe working environments and living wages. We encourage an ethical and a transparent way of working and communicate so in code of conducts.
Success
We will offer a sustainability classification of our products, so our customers can make the responsible choice. This will include the base materials of our products, the production of the items and the modes of transport. On corporate level we will map and reduce the CO2 emissions of our organization.
Key Themes for Our Focus
We will explicitly communicate the status of our efforts and include sustainability policy as a topic in our agendas. To make this policy practical, we have set targets for the future. These are divided into short-term goals and long-term projects. Sustainability is a continuous process in our organization.
These are our 6 main projects:
Climate change and adaptation
Favorite Gifts’ activities result in CO2 emissions, mostly during product manufacturing and transportation. The impact of emissions contribute to climate change. therefore we aim to mitigate this risk of impact. It is necessary to gain insight into the total quantity of CO2 emissions (2024) and subsequently set goals to reduce these (2024/2025), all in line with the principles of the GHG protocol.
We will lead the way and encourage other stakeholders in the chain to contribute to preventing climate change as well (2025).
Information about our products and service
We want to communicate transparent and factual on the use of materials in our products and as a result be able to provide insight into CO2 footprint of our products and use of material on product level.
With this information, customers can make their own sustainable choices on the selection of products.
Health, safety and vitality
As a family company, our employees are extremely important for us. Therefore we aim to provide a pleasant work environment for them and value their wellbeing. We focus on what matters most; excellent employment benefits, a solid pension plan, safe and favorable working conditions and a positive relationship with our staff.
We value the health and vitality of our staff and provide a safe place to work.
Raw materials
Favorite Gifts’ products are made of raw materials, the same for the packaging of these products used for shipment or packaging purposes. This theme connects to the theme of climate change and adaptation, since we can make a positive impact by purchasing more sustainable materials that generally lead to a lower CO2 emission. It is eminent our customers will be informed on the exact material content of our products.
Our waste policy is included in this theme as a topic. We comply with all regulations, but will also set targets for reduction.
Corruption
This topic is considered self-evident at our stakeholders. Favorite Gifts has taken measures to mitigate and prevent the risk of corruption.
With the formalization of this framework, we make the risk of corruption and reputational damage as low as possible.
