Sustainability & Impact | Branding Products with Purpose™

People

Our people-to-people approach is a defining pillar of how we do business. Whether connecting with our clients, collaborating with teammates, or partnering with vendors, we always start with people.

It’s part of our core value: Do the Right Thing.

Internal Efforts

We take care of our people and the people in our supply chain. From living wages, equal opportunity, and workplace safety to our Boundless Cares committees and initiatives, we foster a culture of care and belonging. We believe healthy, supported teams build more inspired brands. We’re proud to exceed our goals and keep raising the bar.

Because inclusion isn’t a metric. It’s a movement.

Manufacturer Partnerships

We’re committed to building an inclusive, responsible supply chain with manufacturing partners we can trust. Our vendor diversity program prioritizes partnerships with minority-owned, woman-owned, disabled-persons-owned, veteran-owned, LGBTQ+, and small businesses.

Goal (set in 2023): 10% diversity spend by 2027
Result (2024): Achieved 12% diversity spend
Next Target (2026): 15% diversity spend

“We view supplier diversity not as a one-size-fits-all initiative, but as a strategic lever that drives innovation, community impact, and long-term growth.”

Rachael WahlgreenDirector of Supplier Partnerships and Sustainability

“Our commitment to sustainability is fundamentally rooted in our long-standing corporate values and driven by our collective interest in leaving this world a better place than how we found it. Our role in this means using the trust our clients place in us as a river guide and connector to educate and facilitate a more sustainable supply chain. As such, we have an obligation to guide and support our customers in their merchandising decisions, hold suppliers accountable to their commitments, and ensure our supply chain prioritizes the elimination of waste, reduces energy consumption, increases its usage of renewable and sustainable materials, and champions suppliers who invest in eco-friendly products. “

Aaron HamerCEO

Product

We don’t do “tchotchkes.” We are committed to branding products with purpose™ by sourcing responsibly made, beautifully designed, and built-to-last items.

From biodegradable and recycled materials to renewable resources and upcycled collections, we help clients build lasting impressions that don’t end up in landfills. Every decision, from product to packaging, is guided by PRISM™—our proprietary Product Responsibility and Impact Scoring Method that scores impact across Process, Material, and larger Impact.

Eco-Friendly Product Practices:

Ethical manufacturing and vetted supply partners
Packaging reduction and waste management protocols
Product circularity and material reuse
Curated sustainable collections in our digital catalogs

Purpose

We’re doing the right thing and doing it better. Purpose is what ties it all together. Since 2016, our internal CSR team has championed sustainability and social responsibility across the business, from volunteerism and environmental initiatives to supplier accountability. We call it branding products with purpose™, because when merch means more, people remember you more.

We proudly align with UN Global Compact principles and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) to ensure our work supports broader global impact.

Where we’re headed.

Because impact isn’t measured in promises. It’s measured in progress.
