“In the corporate world, sustainability is no longer a trend, it’s a business imperative!”

While many companies are often focused on large-scale change such as installing solar panels of reviewing their vehicle fleet, one area remains overlooked but packed with potential: office stationery.

Stationery is a powerful marketing tool. These goodies and items given to your employees and business partners can send a bright message about your brand’s values.

So why not promote a sustainable future for your brand in your office supplies too?

Stationery items are lying around every day in your offices, sometimes with a dozen of cheap, broken pencils just waiting to be thrown away. Why not replace these with clear, functional and elegant pencils and notebooks crafted for your brand.

Here’s why the right stationary will make an impact:

  • A greener workplace starts also with the basics

Sustainability in your company doesn’t have to start with a grand gesture, sometimes, it begins with a pen. By integrating small items into your office environment, you are already creating opportunities for your team to embody your company’s values.

  • Small products but big impacts

Think about how many pens, notebooks, sticky notes and other furniture’s you and your team member use. Now think about the environmental footprint of all these single use-items cause. This is why by starting to use or choose eco-friendly alternatives, produced from recycled materials and made to last, your company can significantly reduce waste.

  • Reinforcing your commitment to CSR and ESG goals

A sustainable stationery sends a clear message: your company is committed to making responsible choices and is finding ways to make this happen.

  • Durable and cost saving choices

Eco-friendly, high-quality stationery will lower your need for new cheap resources. It will also reinforce your company’s commitment to eco-conscious practices and overall can be considered a business smart decision.

Because sustainability isn’t just about the future. It’s about the choices we make today.
