Sustainability has become more than just a trend, it's a growing expectation. In 2025, consumers are increasingly aware of how the brands they support impact the world. From packaging and production to purpose and partnerships, companies are consistently being evaluated through a "green" lens.
Earth Day reminds us of our collective responsibility to do better, not just once a year but in the way we operate every day. For brands, that means aligning sustainability efforts with the materials, products, and partners that represent them.
The push towards environmentally responsible practices isn’t just about checking a box. It’s about demonstrating shared values, reducing waste, and making intentional decisions that speak to modern consumers. Whether it's cutting back on packaging, selecting ethically sourced apparel, or reducing your ecological footprint, brands are under more pressure to make responsible choices.
In 2025, this has expanded beyond physical goods. The rise of carbon-neutral shipping, sustainable sourcing, and measurable green goals has created a ripple effect across industries. Buyers are asking more questions. Consumers want transparency. And companies are being rewarded for prioritizing impact over convenience.
The promotional and print industries are seeing major shifts in how products are designed, sourced, and delivered. Vendors across the board are embracing recyclable materials, biodegradable packaging, and energy-efficient production processes. Apparel manufacturers are incorporating organic fabrics, water-saving dyes, and recycled fibers into their garments. Even signage and packaging are being reimagined with greener alternatives.
At QRG, we’re proud to work with vendor partners who are moving the needle on sustainability. Many of our most popular products now come with eco-certifications or are made with recycled, reusable, or responsibly-sourced materials. These changes don’t just help the planet. They elevate the brand stories of the companies we work with.
