Your & myclimate.
Sustainability:
Within reach.
Do you sometimes ask yourself: What can I do to help the climate? We ask ourselves the same question – and not just recently. In 2017, we became the first promotional product retailer to offer our customers the option of ordering their promotional products with a climate impact balance for an additional charge. But that’s not all: since 2022, we have been accounting for the climate impact of all orders based on the calculated CO₂ footprint. We are also the first to do this without any extra cost for you as a customer – it’s part of our customer-focused DNA. But where do these contributions go?
The forest:
Invaluably important.
We all love it and often use it to recharge, unwind, exercise, or celebrate: the forest. Its role and value as a retreat for both humans and animals are universal. That’s why we consciously chose two forest projects from myclimate, the non-profit organization with Swiss roots, as part of our climate protection efforts.
One in Switzerland focuses on biodiversity, while the other in Tanzania supports people, animals, and forests while promoting sustainable forest management. These projects are not just about reducing CO2 emissions but also about improving human health and preserving animals’ natural habitats.
The Prättigau:
Biodiversity before productivity.
The forest – invaluable and irreplaceable as a sustainable resource for wood, a protector against natural disasters, and a habitat for diverse animal and plant life. By reducing wood usage, the 13’000-hectare forest area in the Prättigau/Davos region provides many animal and plant species with the opportunity to develop in a protected and diverse manner. Additionally, its function as a CO2 sink makes it a vital pillar for both local and global climate protection.
Tanzania:
Harmony between forest, people & wildlife.
Win-win-win situations do exist, and one of them is the myclimate project in Tanzania. This initiative invests in training the indigenous population to combat poaching and ensures compliance with land-use plans. The project guarantees the local population a long-term and stable income. This way, everyone benefits: the forest, people, and wildlife.
Environmental protection has been important to us since bb trading was founded. For over 20 years, we’ve been distributing our promotional products in the most environmentally conscious way possible.
