Making social, local and ecological impact

Why?

Personalized products and promotional gifts are an effective way to promote your brand.

However, a large part of the products in our industry are of poor quality, made in unfamiliar conditions and imported en masse from Asia. The market is growing and costs are under pressure. This results in little attention to design and ignorance about the negative social and ecological externalities. Even the so-called 'green products' that are brought to Europe are not always as green as they seem.

We decided that this had to change and to use our expertise and passion as a bridge builder to make the promotional market more sustainable. By collaborating with a network of exclusive, local and social makers and using only sustainable materials, we shorten our chains and therefore know exactly where, who, how and what our products are made of.

We make this information measurable and transparent and share it with our customers, partners and other promotional gift agencies via our ECG-Label. Only together can we make an impact!

"We believe we can make the world a bit more beautiful and move people with our stylish and fair-designed products that have a local, social and environmental impact."

Durability

We help organizations reduce their ecological footprint by supplying custom products that last, are made of sustainable materials, have a story and also look beautiful. Products that people really want!

With our philosophy, we create a model that not only protects the environment but also regenerates and creates social and economic values.

We do this by thinking differently, using different materials and producing locally. In addition, we plant trees back in the Netherlands together with our customers and we create bee oases in the Netherlands together with the Bee Foundation in order to contribute to biodiversity in the Netherlands. In addition, we are working on new developments and designs on a daily basis to ultimately become 100% circular.

Our approach

Only use promotional gifts if they actually have added value! That is why we always work from objectives that we convert into measurable social, economic and ecological values. In addition, it is possible to give concrete substance to your SDGs with our sustainable products and concepts.

All our custom-made products are designed according to our Value Creation model, which includes the 10-R design model. They feature a QR code that leads to our online impact page where the story behind our products and makers is told.

Independent validation and transparent information are the most important elements in this. By being transparent and working with an open chain, we want to initiate and motivate a change in our market and raise awareness for more sustainable solutions and waste reduction.

Local & social production

One of our main goals is to reduce our environmental footprint and make a local and social impact. We do this, among other things, by bringing the maker industry back to the Netherlands and producing as much as possible in our own environment.

That is why we have joined forces with impact-driven makers. Together with them we work on diversity, inclusiveness, job satisfaction and opportunities for everyone.

Because we want to keep the chain transparent, want our chain partners to grow and tell the real and honest story, we communicate where and with whom we produce. It is our mission to stimulate inclusive work and to give local makers a stage and face.
