How does the use of Fairtrade-certified promotional items benefit me as a company?

More sustainable giveaways and sweet promotional items are often slightly more expensive than conventional products, but the difference is usually less than expected – especially for larger print runs. Many companies find that the higher value and positive perception of more sustainable promotional gifts more than compensate for the slight additional cost.

How do I communicate sustainability and certifications in my customer mailings and advertising campaigns?

You can highlight sustainability in customer mailings, employee mailings or on trade fair items, e.g. by referring to organic, Fairtrade or FSC certification on the product, a short text about the ClimatePartner project or a landing page/QR code with further information.
