Building a Different Kind of Business
We started Ethical Swag to give you trusted, easy to find options that best reflect your brand values. It's hard to know when green washing is going on - we get it. So we set out to create a different kind of business.
As a Certified B Corp, we opened up and were audited to a global sustainability standard so that you know you can trust us. It's important to us because it's not what you say, but what you do, that matters.
We have built into our DNA a focus on people, planet and profit. We have set out to be wildly successful, so we can use that success to have an impact on our staff, our clients, our communities and our world. We invite you to be a part of that!

Ethically Sourced Swag
At Ethical Swag, we only work with suppliers that have passed strict audits related to social compliance, environmental impact, product safety, supply chain security and product quality. We look for sustainable goods which includes recycled content, organic, biodegradable, etc., we watch carbon footprint when shipping and make sure there is no green washing with our suppliers. It can be complicated, but you don't have to worry about it, that's our job!
You will find a selection of items on our site, but not too much! We have vetted it for quality, price and all the things that are important to you. We stand behind what we sell and are always looking for new and innovative products as well as the "tried, tested and true" swag that we know works.
We want to meet you where you are, no judgment. We offer a good/better/best approach to sourcing products to ensure there are options, no matter what your budget, and are happy to share with you the criteria for product selection - just ask!
