Recently, we received the 2020 SEAL Business Sustainability Award. SEAL, which stands for Sustainability, Environmental Achievement & Leadership, is an organization honoring and celebrating sustainable business practices. We received the SEAL Environmental Initiative Award for the Re:cycled Collection—besides producing eco-friendly bags, the company aims to remove 40 million plastic bottles from landfills by 2024.
There are several ways to find discarded plastic, but here at Solo New York we make it a point to find landfills or other sources bound for oceans and waterways. According to Vice President for Marketing Serkan Anders, "From a business standpoint, sustainability isn't an option anymore, and we've demonstrated that it's possible to develop more sustainable products at prices that are accessible to a broad group of consumers." He further added that we believe to be the only company of our size and type integrating eco-consciousness to our strategy.
Besides the SEAL award, we also received the 2020 Sustainability Initiative of the Year award from the Business Intelligence Group. The Business Intelligence Group holds annual Sustainability Awards in honor of teams, organizations, and individuals committed to creating sustainable business practices or initiatives. What sets this award apart from others is its judging panel, composed of business executives with experience and knowledge in the field, and its proprietary scoring system for measuring performance across multiple domains.
We aim to strengthen the drive for sustainability further, partnering with the National Forest Foundation for its reforestation efforts. We as a company helped plant thousands of trees across the U.S. to help mitigate the impact of runaway global warming.
Today, consumers demand corporate social responsibility. People expect brands and businesses to live out their values and implement systems that protect the environment or foster social justice. Our Re:cycled collection represents a shift to more mindful consumption, one that has been gaining momentum in the past few years.
