If goodies are unavoidable, choose eco-friendly or sustainable options (recyclable or biodegradable material). It is a good way to promote your CSR strategy to your customers.
- Offer reusable mug or water bottle in order to limit single-use bottles
- Offer reusable bags
- Choose meaningful gifts that will actually be used, don't waste resources and money with pointless items that will be thrown right away.
Moreover,
• Act on quantities & quality (e.g. distribute 1,000 recyclable/ eco-friendly pens versus 2,000 made in a distant country and imported by plane)
• Buy locally to limit transportation and logistics
• Choose manufacturers with conscious of environmental and social challenges:
- safe work environment to prevent work accidents and illness
- employees wellbeing
- ethical work conditions (minimum salaries levels, no forced labor, no child work...)
