It’s that time of year when promotional products companies begin releasing their environmental, social and governance or sustainability impact reports.

These reports highlight promo firms’ corporate social responsibility achievements over the past year as well as establish new goals for the next year and beyond.

“The increase in these reports shows the maturing of the industry’s CSR efforts – a continued focus on verified data that supports sustainability claims and demonstrates the commitments these companies have to being transparent,” says Elizabeth Wimbush, CAS, director of sustainability and responsibility at PPAI. “The spirit of continuous growth and improvement is worth celebrating!”

Below are the most recent impact reports that PPAI Media has received. For inclusion in this list, please send your report to Deputy Editor John Corrigan at johnc@ppai.org.

Here Comes The Money

SwagCycle, which helps companies repurpose, recycle and donate their obsolete branded merchandise in a sustainable way, has released its 2025 Impact Report. Ben Grossman, co-president of distributor Grossman Marketing Group, is the founder of SwagCycle.

  • In 2025, the company facilitated nearly $9 million in charitable donations and kept nearly a million products out of landfills.
  • As a result, SwagCycle has kept a total of 3.3 million items out of landfills since launching in 2019.


“We intend to expand our services globally over the coming years, replicating the charitable and recycling networks we’ve built in the United States to serve companies operating across multiple continents,” the company says in its report. “We’ve already completed significant international donation projects, from the Meta/Facebook donation to Giving World in the UK supporting Ukrainian refugees, to ongoing partnerships across North America, and we’re ready to scale this work.

“We also plan to carefully expand our recycling and upcycling services, which help underwrite the charitable work we’re so deeply passionate about. Every recycling project creates revenue that allows us to continue facilitating donations and supporting nonprofit partners who are making a real difference in their communities.”
