Sustainability claims are easy to make and hard to prove, which is the reason the Impact AWARE A5 portfolio exists. An AWARE tracer is embedded in the RPET fabric and paired with blockchain verification, so the use of genuine recycled material and the water saving behind it can be confirmed rather than taken on trust.

The numbers attached to this item are specific: choosing it saves 4 litres of water and reuses 7 plastic bottles, and 2 percent of proceeds from every Impact product sold is donated to Water.org. Inside the 22.2 x 17.2 x 2.1 cm portfolio sits a matching notebook with cream coloured lined pages on 80 gsm FSC recycled paper, plus a large sleeve pocket and a phone pocket for the items that usually end up loose in a bag. It comes in black and blue and is delivered in a gift box.

This is the item to reach for when a campaign has to stand up to scrutiny: ESG and sustainability reporting events, green conferences, CSR programmes and supplier or investor days. It also works as a delegate item at seminars and as an onboarding gift for organisations that want their environmental position visible from the first day.

The flat RPET cover takes an embroidered or printed logo cleanly, and the AWARE story gives your sales and HR teams something concrete to say when they hand it over. MerchRepublic covers artwork, bulk production and EU-wide delivery.
