SELECTION CRITERIA
As a company, it can often be challenging to find a gift that truly aligns with your values. Many company gifts on the market end up being unnecessary consumerism and the products´ value chains are rarely transparent or socially and environmentally responsible.
At Present, we recognized the importance of a corporate gift and the selection challenges and decided to take action. We've done our homework and carefully selected gifts based on our five criteria: positive social impact, fair trade practices, environmental sustainability, transparency in the value chain, and alignment with the profile of the companies that have produced the products.
Our gift boxes contain products made to positively impact people and the planet. Nothing is perfect and we know a 100% sustainable product does not exist. However, all our products have been made consciously and have a positive impact both socially and environmentally compared to conventional products.
When we select a producer, we go after those who have done their best to create a positive impact. Transparency is key and we ensure that the suppliers we choose have full transparency along their product's value chains and we do thorough due diligence on each company behind the product.

Transparency in the value chain
We prioritize products where the entire production process is transparent, from raw materials to the finished product, to ensure a responsible and transparent supply chain.
Positive social impact
We assess each product based on its social impact on a scale from 1 to 5, where 5 represents the highest level of positive social impact.
Positive environmental impact
We evaluate each product for its environmental impact and strive to minimize our ecological footprint by choosing products that are made with care for the environment.
Fair and ethical trade
We ensure that the journey to our giftbox has been done in a manner that lives up to fair trade principles and respects labour rights and working conditions.
Company profile
We only collaborate with companies that share our values around sustainability and social responsibility, and that actively work to make a positive difference in the world.
