Braintree, MA. April 22, 2024. Top promotional products supplier HPG published its new sustainability plan and suite of tools on Earth Day. Highlights include becoming a carbon-neutral enterprise through its partnership with Climate Impact Partners and the rollout of its Goods2KnowTM sustainable product categorization.
Jing Rong, VP of Supply Chain & Sustainability at HPG, shares, “This is the start of a new chapter for HPG and we have a lot more progress to make. HPG intends to make more sustainability improvements across HPG through people, processes, and technology in the years ahead. Sustainability is not another box to check off, but a commitment to improving the long-term interest of our customers, staff, shareholders, suppliers, communities, and planet in everything we do.”
HPG’s online ESG hub is designed to empower its distributors by providing tools, documents, product links, and services aligned with its sustainability initiatives. Distributors can easily access a wealth of resources and detailed insights through hpgbrands.com/esg.
In conjunction with the rollout of its ESG plan and sustainability report, HPG introduces Goods2Know™, a searchable collection of over 890 products featuring sustainable attributes such as products made in North America and items crafted with natural and recycled materials. HPG has added a new Goods2Know™ section on corresponding product pages, detailing applicable sustainable attributes in plain language, making it easy for distributors to communicate each product’s sustainability features to their clients.
HPG continues its dedication to assessing the impact of its present environmental, social, and governance policies while pragmatically and transparently setting ambitious targets for the future in its inaugural 2023 Sustainability Report. HPG aims to elevate its sustainability efforts and contribute to positive change within the promotional products industry.
HPG CEO, Chris Anderson adds, “Thanks in no small part to Jing’s dedication, the entire HPG team has done an outstanding job of codifying and embedding HPG’s sustainability plans into our regular business practices. I fully appreciate a complete shift will be a marathon, not a sprint; however, I believe we have taken a significant step forward with the host of changes we have revealed today, and look forward to meeting the challenges we have set for ourselves in the years ahead.”
