With environmental responsibility laying heavily on our shoulders it makes sense for our businesses to demonstrate it takes Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) very seriously.

One of my clients is in the aviation industry, and I asked them, “Have you considered using any recycled products or clothing?” they said, “Well, we’re one of the biggest polluters, how would that help!” I replied, “There's nothing you can do about what you do, we all need aircraft and the service they provide, even Sir David Attenborough jets off to exotic places to tell us all about Global Warming and the damage we’re doing to our Earth, so, like them or loath them the majority of us need aircraft and they’re here to stay”.

“Even making a small positive effort can go some way to offsetting a company’s carbon footprint, surely this has to be better than doing nothing at all!”

So where do we begin?...

Sustainability is no longer an add-on to any business, it’s upon which businesses and their reputations can be built, we are making critical choices that will have either a positive or even negative effect on our planet including our businesses over the next few years.

Consumers seem to be changing too, we all want to feel good about the products we buy and sell, in an ideal world single use items wouldn’t exist, and they would all be recycled or sustainable but that’s just not realistic at the moment. 

Whilst single use bottles and coated coffee cups are low cost and convenient, are they really what we'd choose to drink out of? Probably not! It’s shocking to note that only 1 in 400 paper coffee cups actually gets recycled. Consumers now have the choice of quality items manufactured from durable materials like stainless steel, recyclable plastics and borosilicate glass that can be used again and again, on the plus side for us they can be personalised too. 

What should we be doing?...

These days, so many industries are cluttered with hundreds of brands and services, all competing for the same market place. With everyone constantly pushing out their own marketing messages and products, it can be so hard to grab people’s attention and stand out from the crowd. You may need to ask yourself, what makes my brand or service different from my competitors? Do I need to do something truly unique that makes my products or service stand out and be more desirable, this is probably the 64 million pound question but you do need to look at your strengths to enhance upon them whilst still thinking green.

It’s a well-known truism in business: it costs more to acquire a new customer than it does to keep an existing one, so I feel a move to educating your existing client base on your own company’s sustainability ethics would be a great leap forward. You can then start to build a stronger relationship with your customers to keep them coming back, you want them to be confident in using your brand or services and I’m sure they will happily share their experiences with others too.

And finally...

I myself have woken up and smelt the coffee, in a recycled cup of course, and that we all need to be doing something about this. Here at FDR Promotions I’m looking towards more suitable sustainable products and workwear, including the manufacturing ethics and materials used, we have even started not to individually plastic bagging our garments and when or if we are required to do so, we are looking to supply biodegradable bags.

This all takes time, as we can only provide and personalise what is being manufactured at present, this will be a continual learning curve but feel we need to play our part and start the ball rolling.

The personalised items we can provide...

Earth positive promotional merchandise and organic workwear tends to amplify your brand or service whilst taking into account factors such as reusability, recycling and sustainable responsiblity.
