It's a Good Thing to be Green
- Our Sustainability Journey

At Good Things, our goal is to be an eco leader in the promotional product industry.

We're reinventing the way brandable promotional products are sourced and ordered, making products that look good, feel good, and do good.

Our commitment to sustainability

Supporting environmental causes:

We contribute to environmental organisations protecting our planet and are carbon-positive.

Ethical and sustainable sourcing:

We partner with Fairtrade-certified suppliers to ensure fair wages and working conditions.

Reducing our environmental footprint:

Our practices minimise waste and energy consumption; we’re constantly learning and making improvements.

Making a difference together

Over the years, we've made significant strides in sustainability, doing what we can to minimise harm to our planet by recycling waste, reducing unnecessary travel, or working with our suppliers to give back and donate where possible. Beyond our day-to-day operations, we're making a more conscious effort with our sustainability initiatives, working collectively to protect the environment. Here's a look at our key initiatives:

1% for the Planet Member

In 2024, we became a member of 1% for the Planet with our Good Range of products. 1% for the Planet is a global organisation that exists to ensure our planet and future generations thrive. Their work includes preventing greenwashing, certifying reputable giving, and providing accountability for environmental giving. In short, becoming a 1% for the Planet® member is an investment in ethical business and the future of our planet.

All members commit to donating at least 1% of annual sales directly to environmental organisations; this model drives critical support to address the most urgent environmental issues. 1% for the Planet certifies every donation to ensure that we all meet that commitment. For Good Things, at least 1% of all our annual good range sales will now be appointed to environmental organisations.

Aligning with an organisation that has certified impact and creates meaningful environmental change has been a primary goal, and we're looking forward to working together to be an industry leader in this space. You can learn more about this partnership in our article 'It's Good to be green: We've joined 1% for the Planet with our Good Range.'

Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation Member

The Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) is working towards a collaborative packaging value chain to keep packaging materials out of landfill and retain the maximum value of the local economy's materials, energy, and labour. We're committed to working towards the 2025 National Packaging target. As members, we actively learn and implement new sustainable packaging methods and meet all compliance regulations. We also have access to the Australian Recycling Label (ARL), which helps our customers know how to dispose of packaging safely.

FairTrade Licensed Supplier

Since 2020, we've been a Fairtrade Licensed supplier. Through FairTrade, we can work with the 1.9 million farmers, workers, suppliers and factories that are part of the FairTrade network. We produce goods knowing they've come from ethical workplaces where workers are paid and treated fairly. We also have access to more sustainable materials through organised farming, as their work promotes sustainable farming and production practices to protect the environment.

Sedex Member

Since 2020, we've been a member of Sedex to get clear visibility of our sustainability performance and supply chain. Their technology platform, data insights and expert guidance make it easier for us to reach our sustainable business goals. As part of the community, we can share insights and best practices and learn from others in their global network of over 75,000 members. We also have access to their SMETA audit, a comprehensive assessment of ethical and sustainable business practices.

Trace partnership

Since 2019, we have partnered with Trace to become carbon-positive. By measuring our environmental impact of energy, suppliers, travel and waste, Trace has helped us offset climate projects and tree planting. Our conservation efforts have contributed to projects like the Coorong Lakes Biodiversity Conversation, Australia and the Katingan Peatlands Conversation, Indonesia.

Eco-friendly range

We've seen what our suppliers are capable of when it comes to sustainable eco products, and we endeavour to make these products available to you — with the best price, customisation and print methods at your fingertips. We'll continue to launch more sustainable products made from bamboo, hemp, organic cotton and stainless steel.
