Leverage operational AND supply chain sustainability transparency to align every brand moment with brand values.

Green Light Responsible Sourcing makes Staples Promo the only brand merchandiser in the world to provide enterprise-grade sustainability transparency. How? By projecting sustainability transparency far past our own operations. We publish EcoVadis sustainability performance metrics for our supply chain partners in each region, too. No other brand merchandiser provides this data. They limit EcoVadis transparency to their own operations — less than 10% of the value chain.

Build trust into every brand experience.

When your brand is part of the experience, everything matters. We’ve curated a tighter, more accountable supply chain with deeper metrics, more rigorous sourcing, and third-party certifications where they count. Because every merchandise experience should live up to your brand.

Take compliance off your worry list.

Staples Inc. stakes our brand on $ billions in B2B and B2C product experiences every year—including branded merchandise, incentives and rewards.
