Marathon’s objective was to promote its Methamphetamine Awareness Program incorporating highly visible and long-lasting promotional items. And, since this is an initiative for their corporate social responsibility program, Marathon wanted to select a socially responsible promotional products supplier.

High school students are a key target audience for the program, so items selected had to be “cool” and appeal to teenagers. Through PPS’ Ethical Sourcing Process, we selected silicone bracelets and stadium cups that are made in the United States. Made in the US items reduce the distance the products travel and support domestic manufacturers. We also requested the MSDS data sheets for the cups. We chose t-shirts manufactured in Honduras by Anvil, a company who is a corporate member of Social Accountability International. As a member of Social Accountability International, Anvil is committed to going beyond labor compliance to worker empowerment.

The t-shirts, silicone bracelets and stadium cups are imprinted with the Don’t Meth With Me logo. Marathon distributes the items at rallies to promote and reinforce the program’s message.

As with all PPS products, the carbon emissions from the transport of these products from factory to Marathon’s locations were offset, and 1% of the sale of each product was contributed to Green for All, through our membership in 1% for the Planet.

MillerCoors approaches sustainability with a comprehensive commitment, as outlined in its 2008 Sustainable Development Report, From Grain to Glass. One of the company’s five key sustainability responsibilities is to reduce its energy and carbon footprint.  In keeping with this goal, PPS worked with MillerCoors to provide a gift to employees that would make the electricity use of laptops for all of its employee’s carbon neutral for 2009.  As an example of the innovative products and services our company offers customers, we provided green-e certified renewable energy credits (RECs) as a method for offsetting carbon emissions resulting from grid-connected electricity use.  We also provided a communication vehicle to promote MillerCoors commitment through stickers for employees’ laptops. The program will launch late in 2009. With this highly visible promotional item, MillerCoors will reinforce this sustainability goal multiple times a day with employee recipients.
