Written by Thomas Mirmotahari

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 atPerkUp 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.

Shipping regionally instead of across continents can cut per-package CO₂ emissions by up to 95%.

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.

How we verify our partners

We don’t rely on contracts alone — our team conducts regular in-person factory and warehouse visits and meets partners at industry trade shows at least once a year, checking for safe and fair working conditions, product quality, and environmental practices.

Our distributed warehousing network across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific lets us store inventory close to recipients, with guaranteed landed costs and full customs visibility on cross-border deliveries.
