Talking Tables will be taking part in its first B Corp month in March, with a series of activities and initiatives designed to raise awareness of the accreditation body and the importance of sustainability and social impact.
Although there are more than 1,000 B Corps in the UK, representation in the giftware industry remains low, says the company, with Talking Tables wanting to effect change. To close out B Corp Month in March, the company will be bringing interested brands together for the third of its ‘Talking Together’ events, in association with The Giftware Association, under the theme Harnessing the Power of B Corp.
The gift, partyware and games company became a B Corp in September after passing a rigorous evaluation of its social and environment impact and will be publishing its first impact report as part of its month of activities. The report will provide much of the messaging for the marketing campaign, particularly on social.
Talking Tables branded collections are recyclable or reusable. Paper products are sourced from FSC sustainably managed forests and the paper used in napkins and games is offset with tree planting. New initiatives for the Spring/Summer season include reusable upcycled bunting from India, supporting craft based developers, and recycled glass bud vases.
Within the games range, all items are reusable, and booster packs are being introduced to add to existing games to extend their life. Additionally, to further prolong the life of games, from March, any customers taking games that they no longer have a use for to a charity shop will be rewarded with having ten trees planted in their name.
B Corp month runs throughout March under the banner We Go Beyond.
