The Choice & The Choice catalog has been a well-known and major
player in the promotional market for many years. In
the coming years, with a view to sustainability, we
Sustainability will also be clearly visible online in addition to the
catalogue.
This The Choice is printed on FSC certified paper. This
environmental certificate fits within our philosophy of
taking responsibility as a company for our role within
society and the living environment.
The Choice focuses on economic, social and living
environment needs. Sustainability is an important
pillar of the articles in The Choice. Our products
are tested for longevity. The origin of materials is
transparent and origin and fair working conditions are
taken into account. Stedman has a line made from
recycled material.
But it’s not just our products where we implement
sustainability. It also continues within business
operations. Our aim is to install solar panels on the
business premises by 2024. Since last year, there
have been charging stations in front of the building for
electric cars and we use green energy.

The Choice has its own large distribution center where
used plastic is collected and recycled. Cardboard is
reused and our employees think about the use of non-
reusable materials.

Since 2023, The Choice has been affiliated with
Stichting UPV Textiel. This foundation was established
in response to the Decision on Extended Producer
Responsibility (UPV Textiel) in the Netherlands, which
holds importers and textile producers accountable
for collection, recycling, and reuse. Over 650
companies have joined this collective initiative,
currently representing more than 70% of the market.
The foundation collectively organizes the collection
and processing of discarded textiles to efficiently,
effectively, and affordably meet the UPV obligations.

The Choice is for a livable future and takes nature and
people into account.
