17 GOALS.
ONE BOLD VISION.
In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 global goals. Today, Bold Promo is delivering results.
At Bold Promo, we believe that business should be a force for good!
We fully embrace The Global Goals initiative and have integrated the globalgoals.org framework into the very core of our business strategy.
Rather than viewing sustainability as a side project, we use these 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as our North Star, guiding our operational decisions, our supply chain partnerships, and our long-term ambitions. By aligning our growth with this universal call to action, we are committed to moving beyond “business as usual” to create a future that is inclusive, regenerative, and, above all, Bold.
| SDGs | Current Action | Future Ambition (2027-2030) |
|---|---|---|
 |
Paying 100% of staff a verified living wage, moving beyond legal minimums to true economic security. | Implementing a Wealth-Building Program with company-matched retirement contributions for all tiers. |
 |
Supporting local Miami food banks and shelters through volunteer hours and surplus donations. | We aim to transform a portion of our Miami facility's outdoor space into a hydroponic urban farm. We will grow fresh produce for our employees and donate the surplus to local food-insecure families |
 |
We have phased out high-solvent inks in favor of water-based and OEKO-TEX® certified inks. These formulations are free from harmful phthalates and lead, reducing chemical exposure for our staff and end-users. | Comprehensive health insurance and mental health days for every Bold Promo team member. |
 |
We provide every employee with access to an online training platform that can be used for any accredited course, from graphic design and coding to sustainable supply chain management. | We aim to develop an internal certification program for our production and design teams. By 2027, 100% of our staff will be "AI-Fluent," capable of using generative tools to reduce operational waste and enhance creative output. |
 |
Maintaining a 0% gender pay gap and 50/50 representation in leadership roles. | We aim to achieve a third-party "Equal Pay" certification (such as EDGE or Fair Pay Workplace) to ensure a 0% gender pay gap across all departments, from production to software engineering. |
 |
We have transitioned 90% of our apparel volume to heat-applied decoration methods. Unlike traditional screen printing, these methods require near-zero water for screen reclamation and chemical wash-downs. | Exploring and piloting atmospheric water generation to provide "harvested-from-air" water for general facility cleaning, reducing our municipal withdrawals by a further 10%. |
 |
- Transitioned to 100% LED lighting. - Applied a high-reflectivity thermal coating to our Miami facility roof, projected to reduce cooling energy consumption by 15-20%. |
Installing a rooftop solar array on our Miami facility to power 50% of our daily energy needs. |
 |
Integrated "Fair Pay" clauses into our Tier 1 supplier Code of Conduct. | Work with third-party auditors to verify that 100% of our global supply chain partners provide a living wage, moving beyond statutory minimums to true economic dignity. |
 |
Adopted PromoStandards and industry-specific APIs to streamline data exchange with distributors and partners. This digital infrastructure reduces paper waste and manual data entry errors across the entire supply chain. | Leading an industry-wide initiative to integrate Environmental Impact Data (like carbon-per-unit) directly into the PromoStandards protocol, allowing every distributor to see the "Planet Cost" of their order. |
 |
We utilize Skill-Based Hiring for our production and tech roles, removing four-year degree requirements that often act as a barrier to talented individuals from non-traditional or self-taught backgrounds. | By 2028, we aim to direct 25% of our annual local procurement spend to diverse-certified suppliers, helping to close the wealth gap within the promotional products supply chain. |
 |
Prioritizing Miami-based suppliers to reduce shipping distances and support the local economy. | Transitioning company vehicles to 100% Electric Vehicles (EVs). |
 |
Completed the full digitalization of our production floor, making it 100% paperless. | Replace physical spec-sampling with high-fidelity VR/AR mockups to eliminate the carbon footprint of shipping physical items and prevent thousands of units of "single-use" samples from entering the waste stream. |
 |
Completed a baseline carbon footprint assessment of Scope 1 and 2 emissions, starting our journey toward Net Zero. | Transition our facilities to 100% renewable energy sources, accelerating our progress toward a Net Zero future. |
 |
Proudly partnering with 4Ocean to reduce plastic and trash in our oceans. | Launching a recycling program where clients can return end-of-life synthetic promo items (polyester shirts, plastic sunglasses) for recycling into new textile fibers/raw pellets, ensuring they never become "marine debris." |
 |
Admin/office only use 100% FSC-Certified paper. | Partnering with reforestation projects like Veritree to restore ecosystems. |
 |
Full transparency in our supply chain via the Master Supply Agreement and ethical contracts. | Publishing an annual Open-Book Impact Report detailing our progress and setbacks. |
 |
Using the globalgoals.org official framework to audit our internal operations and communicate progress to our stakeholders. | We aim to partner with 1% for the Planet to help achieve the Global Goals by supporting people and the planet. |
