Our origin

In 1965 our founding members could already feel that the era of globalization was approaching. They created an initiative to bring companies dedicated to the promotional gift industry together. At that time, IPPAG was born as a commercial collaboration network based on shared knowledge, experience, ambitions and values.

Fast forward to a brighter future

Initially born to facilitate collaboration among leading promotional items distributors and wholesalers across the globe:

today, after having redefined our purpose, IPPAG and its members are all striving to become authentic changemakers for our industry.

Through conscious innovation and purposeful collaboration, we are leading the branded merchandise industry towards a more sustainable future.

What is Sustainability ?

According to the UN: “Sustainable development is the masterful balance of meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own…”.

At IPPAG, and within all our member companies, in a world of increasingly finite resources, we believe that this gives us the moral and commercial imperative of not only taking great care about:

  • WHERE WE PRODUCE [ What Factories ]
  • HOW WE PRODUCE [Factory Auditing & Quality Control]
  • WHAT WE PRODUCE [ What Materials & Chemicals ]
  • WHO PRODUCES [Social Compliance]

… but must drive us to add an even more fundamental concern:

  • WHY WE PRODUCE

IPPAG Sustainability

With increasing and unwavering focus: this means that ‘AUDIENCE – INTENT – PURPOSE’

are at the heart of everything we do…

Making sure that the branded merchandise we propose, promote and produce are not only: MORE SUSTAINABLE, but also MORE MEANINGFUL…

One of the best and most impactful ways to ensure something is sustainable, is to ensure it will be APPRECIATED, USED,  KEPT, CHERISHED

The IPPAG carbon tracking initiative

We have created a unique and ISO 14067 certified ‘Carbon Tracking Tool’ to be used by all IPPAG members: to calculate the carbon emissions related to the products that we propose and sell.

Our members companies then use this data and its interpretation to demonstrate impact / compare solutions and optimize choices / reduce overall emissions / and compensate as applicable via local schemes.

Through meticulous calculations: we are accountable and responsible for our emissions…

We are « on track » towards a lower carbon impact.
