Corporate Social Responsibility

At Giving Europe, we take social responsibility seriously. We strive to treat people well, conduct business with integrity, and care for the environment. Not as an add-on, but as a natural part of who we are and what we do every day.

 

Our mission

For us, promotional gifts are more than just a token of appreciation. They contribute to our customers' success. It is our mission to support that success in a structural way by inspiring and advising on the smart use of promotional products.

 

We do this by:

 

  • contributing to our customers' brand awareness;

  • offering safe and reliable promotional items;

  • continuously investing in the knowledge of our customers and our people;

  • communicating honestly about the sustainable impact of our products;

  • working with partners on solutions that deliver trust and results.

 

We are aware that we are a link in a larger chain. That position comes with responsibility. As a family business, we believe it is only natural that human rights are respected, both within our own organization and in the supply chain. We want to do business fairly and minimize our impact on the environment. For us, growth and sustainability go hand in hand.

 

From mission to core values

We have translated this mission into our core values. They form the foundation for how we treat our employees, customers, and partners, and how we make choices in the area of sustainability. Our sustainability policy is based on the ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) commitments that are directly aligned with our core values:

 

  • Speed: we respond quickly to developments and do the same in the field of sustainability.
  • Simplicity: We keep it simple. We supply safe promotional items and also select items that contribute to a transparent, climate-neutral, and circular economy.
  • Fun: We ensure good working conditions for all our employees in the supply chain, including a safe working environment and living wages. We encourage ethical and transparent working practices and communicate this in our codes of conduct.
  • Success: We are introducing a sustainability rating for our products so that our customers can make informed choices. We look at the basic materials, production, and transport methods. At the company level, we will map our CO2 emissions and actively reduce them.

 

How do we do that?

We don't just say it, we do it too. How exactly? You can read about that on the page where we tell you more about our SDG goals, our strategy, and our partnerships. That's how we give concrete substance to our social role.
