How PerkUp Supports Sustainable Swag and Gifting

Last updated August 15, 2025

PerkUp is committed to reducing the environmental impact of corporate swag and gifting through sustainable sourcing, eco-friendly product offerings, and measurable carbon footprint reductions. Learn more at PerkUp Sustainability .

1. Source and Warehouse Globally

By sourcing and warehousing closer to recipients, PerkUp reduces long-distance shipping, lowers carbon emissions, and supports local businesses.

  • Unlike traditional approaches that source all items from one continent and ship them worldwide, PerkUp uses a distributed warehousing network.
  • This means products can be sourced and stored locally in regions across the globe, significantly reducing transportation distances.
  • The result is a more sustainable, environmentally friendly model that also supports local economies and suppliers.

Example CO₂ Savings per Package:

  • Europe: NYC → Paris (2.92 kg) vs. Berlin → Paris (0.16 kg) → 2.76 kg saved
  • Brazil: NYC → São Paulo (4.2 kg) vs. Rio → São Paulo (0.06 kg) → 4.14 kg saved
  • India: NYC → Mumbai (4.5 kg) vs. New Delhi → Mumbai (0.08 kg) → 4.42 kg saved
  • Asia: NYC → Batam (5.5 kg) vs. Shanghai → Batam (0.09 kg) → 5.41 kg saved

2. Eco Picks – Sustainable Product Selection

Choose from a wide range of eco-friendly, recycled, and sustainable products designed to reduce environmental impact without compromising quality.

3. Stripe Climate – Carbon Removal Funding

A portion of every PerkUp purchase supports emerging carbon removal technologies to help counteract climate change.

4. 1% for the Planet Partnership

PerkUp donates 1% of revenue to environmental nonprofits through the 1% for the Planet network, directly funding conservation and sustainability initiatives.
