Purpose Beyond Product
B Corp, BrandGood & Corporate Social Responsibility
As we strive to become a better company through our compassionate team and our work helping clients deliver impact, we will dedicate resources to decreasing brandfill*, nurturing our communities and embodying a culture of caring.
As a proud Certified B Corporation, we are bound to honor the governance of ensuring our business is a force for good.
BrandGood. “Brand” and “Good” are two simple words that when combined, create a new way for organizations to brand themselves and help the communities in which they serve. From supporting the literacy program in desperate need of books to helping food-insecure kids, there are numerous ways to make a difference with the help of promotional products. At Brand Fuel, we call this the business of benevolence or “BrandGood.” And we are committed to helping nonprofits and our clients with impactful Cause-Marketing initiatives.
Focus Areas. While Brand Fuel is invested in many needs, our hearts get tugged when we have the privilege to support the Arts (Music, in particular), Mental Health, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging, and Food Insecurity. If children are recipients of our goodwill, then our hearts are sufficiently full.
