Our Commitment to the Environment...
Design... We design our gifts to be as earth-friendly as possible. On average, less than 3% of any gift needs to be sent to a landfill.
Reduce... Through the use of our website, we have been able to reduce the number of catalogs we print. Today we print 75,000 fewer catalogs than we did a few years ago.
Reuse... The majority of our gifts include reusable boxes, collectibles, cutting boards or desk accessories that will be used for years to come. This is good for the environment.
Recycle... We strive to use recyclable packaging wherever possible. In addition, we recycle over 50 tons of paper and corrugated annually!
Sustain... No rainforests have been damaged to create our gifts. All of our wood products are made from sustainable timber.
Saving the Rainforests... Giving our chocolates to your customers and employees can help save the rainforests! Cocoa, the principle ingredient of chocolate, needs the shaded canopy of the rainforest to grow. Nearly all of the chocolate used in our gifts is “Rainforest Alliance” certified which ensures that the farms have met the environmental, social, and economic standards of the Sustainable Agriculture Network. The more chocolate we consume, the greater the need to preserve the rainforest.
That’s why we like to say... “Save the rainforests, eat more chocolate!”
