About Gifts for Good

Gifts for Good was founded to reduce corporate gifting waste and to only support non-profits and social enterprises doing good in the world. By having a hybrid model where we dropship many products, we reduce the transportation a single item takes to get to the end-user. Additionally, our gifting software, Giftforward, reduces waste by allowing the gift recipient to select what they want, ensuring the gift isn't tossed into the landfill. If they do not want a physical gift, they can donate its value to the charity impact of their choice. We also developed honor cards that focus on a charity impact (like planting a tree) to replace the inexpensive single-use swag that corporations give away at place settings or in grab bags at events.

Companies earn the label annually after completing Climate Neutral certification. The certification process is underpinned by our rigorous, peer-reviewed Standard.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.
