Sustainability
AT THE HEART OF OUR ETHOS
We believe it is not only possible, but essential, for industries like ours to reduce waste and find sustainable alternatives, especially for single use plastics. MEDAEO is fully committed to innovation in this area and we are very proud to have a number of 100% natural and biodegradable products already in our range as we continue to push the boundaries.
We endeavour to reduce our own environmental footprint by minimising the amount of plastic packaging used in shipping, and ensuring our boxes are fully recyclable.
We also work with logistics partners UPS and DPD, because they offer carbon neutral shipping options. In 2018, we were proud to receive an Ecovadis Gold Award based on the overall sustainability of our business, from environmental to ethical.
Sustainability is at the heart of MEDAEO’s ethos. Working in a fast-paced industry, we aim to support our customers’ goals in reducing their environmental and ethical footprint while still being able to provide high quality, competitively priced rewards and giveaways.
We use ethically sourced products and work closely with our production partners to ensure workers are treated well and paid fairly. As an active Sedex AB member, all MEDAEO’s suppliers are regularly audited in line with our ethical, environmental and sustainability credentials to ensure optimal efficiency and working conditions. Sedex are the worldwide, independent framework supporting sustainable supply chains.
“We have seen an improvement and better consistency in our brand result when using the medals as rewards for the quiz trail. We also distribute them from our photo opportunity sales point so have seen no noticeable impact on the performance in the shop whilst we have been using the medals. The feedback from kids and parents is that the medal makes the quiz trail a better experience as they get something they can keep at the end of it.”
