Willsmer Wagg is proud to announce that we have been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum Medal, positioning us in the top 1% of companies worldwide for sustainability. This prestigious accolade highlights our leadership in promoting sustainable practices within the promotional merchandise industry.

Our commitment to sustainability was strengthened earlier this year when we proudly signed up to the BPMA StepForward Pledge, a BPMA-led initiative driving members to actively improve their sustainability performance. Alongside our long-standing ISO 14001 certification, this pledge provided a strong foundation for our EcoVadis application, reinforcing our efforts to reduce environmental impact and embed sustainable practices throughout our business

Willsmer Wagg’s sustainability efforts were recognised across several key areas:

• Environment: We actively reduce carbon emissions and promote eco-friendly products, underpinned by our ISO 14001 certification.
• Labour & Human Rights: We champion equality, diversity, and employee well-being through inclusive workplace policies.
• Ethics: Our adherence to the ETI Base Code reflects our commitment to transparency and ethical practices across our supply chain.
• Sustainable Procurement: We work closely with suppliers committed to reducing waste, using sustainable materials, and minimising their environmental footprint.

Debbie Willsmer, Managing Director, says:

“This milestone reflects the collective efforts of the entire Willsmer Wagg team and our partnerships across the industry. We’re especially grateful to our fantastic suppliers for their support in completing our sustainability survey. While we’re proud of this achievement, we recognise that sustainability is an ongoing journey. The insights from EcoVadis will help us continue improving as we set new standards in promotional merchandise procurement. As BPMA members, we’re excited to share what we’ve learned to help drive positive change across the industry.”
