EDC has been a client of Ethical Swag for a while and our team has created 'Welcome Kits' to help them onboard new staff working remotely through handpicked sustainable products and carbon-free fulfillment. We've also teamed up with a local organization that supports individuals of varying abilities to assemble these kits, a job that helps them gain vital skills and connection to the community. (More on this coming soon!)

In summary, the buying power of EDC enables us to impact lives through meaningful work and a purpose: connecting companies, brands, clients, employees, students and other stakeholders through products that are good for People & Planet.

UN Women describes gender-responsive procurement as selecting services, goods, and works in a way that considers impact on gender equality, going beyond cost management. That simple shift, spending intentionally and verifying what you claim, is where support becomes tangible.
