## Sustainability story

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.
