Responsible Mindset
Sustainable practices and materials reduce the carbon footprint associated with their manufacture and also help cut
down waste and save energy.
A Responsible Mindset can include designing your business around social corporate responsibility, or in corporate
giving to charity, or many other things.
It can also be as simple as creating products designed to reduce use of disposable products, products designed to be
easily recycled and products designed to reduce packaging waste.
We want to recognize the actions by brands that have implemented programs and processes that exemplify a
Responsible Mindset through give-backs to people, communities and the environment.

» Carbon Offsets
Carbon offsets let you help build projects in communities across the country that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions beyond what you can achieve through individual
action. Carbon offsets are purchased to fund these projects and diminish the impact of your own GHG emissions, even though the projects are located elsewhere. Carbon Offsets
make environmental and economic sense- for emissions that are impossible to reduce, you can use funds to help reduce emissions elsewhere.
