Atlanta, GA (1888PressRelease)
October 24, 2008 - For Pinnacle Promotions, it’s not about being “Earth-Trendy,” it’s about being EarthSmart. While many companies talk about going green, Pinnacle is demonstrating its commitment to creating a sustainable environment.
Moving into the fourth quarter, Pinnacle Promotions is continuing to grow and develop its commitment to the environment with its successful EarthSmart line of eco-friendly promotional items. From pens, lanyards, and tote bags to drinkware and apparel, all of the products in the EarthSmart line are made from environmentally friendly or recycled materials, and come from suppliers committed to “green” manufacturing and printing methods.
In addition to its EarthSmart line, Pinnacle has partnered with 1% for the Planet, one of the largest international funders of environmental nonprofit groups. As a part of their membership with 1% for the Planet, Pinnacle has committed to donate 1% of all EarthSmart sales. These funds are combined with the contributions of other member organizations and distributed to a network of non-profit groups across the globe.
According to Rob Wellon, EarthSmart Brand Manager, continuing with their green initiative during these challenging economic times has not been a problem.
“Our commitment to the environment goes beyond monetary expenses,” said Wellon. “Our goal is to provide an entire line of eco-friendly products to help organizations use promotional merchandise to increase awareness of their sustainable business practices and in turn pass along our EarthSmart message.”
Pinnacle’s commitment to the environment doesn’t stop with its EarthSmart Promotional Product line and partnership with 1% for the Planet. Pinnacle also advocates employee participation in eco-friendly habits such as turning off computer monitors and lights at night, carpooling, recycling, using reusable shopping bags and purchasing recycled paper and products. Pinnacle also sponsored and participated in Earth Hour on March 29, 2008 and Earth Share of Georgia’s Corporate Green Day Challenge on April 26, 2008.
