The United Nations has created 17 Sustainable Development Goals to achieve by 2030.
They use the hashtag #envision2030 to motivate others to help them achieve these goals by their bold deadline. We support these goals by being Fair Trade, Organic, and producing eco-friendly bags. We are thoroughly committed and actively helping achieve 7 of these goals.
Read more about how Gallant’s reusable shopping bags are contributing to some of the UN’s Sustainable Development goals:
No Poverty
We work closely with farmers who grow our organic cotton and workers who make our Fair Trade products. By working closely with them, we help farmers and workers make a consistent living, helping them lift themselves out of poverty. Through Fair Trade and GOTS, workers are paid legal wages or above, benefiting themselves, their families and boosting their communities.
Zero Hunger
By lifting farmers and workers out of poverty, we are helping them feed themselves and their families. Additionally, Gallant International will contribute to buy 100,000 meals through Feeding America. This 100,000 meals will be matched by Tony Robbins, helping to buy 200,000 meals in total for children and families in America. A purchase of our organic products contributes to our goal.
Good Health and Well-being
Gallant’s 100% GOTS Certified Organic cotton products assist the health and well-being of farmers, workers and the consumers. Our organic cotton is free of harmful pesticides and insecticides, as well as GMOs. The production of organic cotton contributes to land and ecosystem conservation as well as the health of those farming, producing and using our products. Under GOTS, many toxic chemicals are prohibited, leading to safer and healthier lives.
Gender Equality
Our Fair Trade products ensure that all genders are treated and paid equally. Through Fair Trade and GOTS certificate compliance, we are able to achieve gender equality in workplaces and throughout communities. Fair Trade encourages women to step up and be equal to their male counterparts in areas where it is needed.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Our support for Fair Trade initiatives help start economic growth in the area of our Factory and Farms and provides more than decent work for all of our factory employees and farmers. In addition to receiving above minimum wage pay, our workers and farmers also receive a Fair Trade premium, money that goes directly into worker’s bank accounts. This money can be used by the workers to improve the lives of those in their factory and community.
Reduce Inequality
Gallant aims to help reduce inequality by supporting gender and racial equality at our office, in our factory and in our day to day lives. Gallant International treats everyone with the same respect. A purchase of our reusable produce bags benefits the lives of all.
Partnerships to achieve the goal
To help achieve these goals, Gallant partners with Fair Trade USA, Fairtrade America , Feeding America, GOTS, Fair Trade Federation, and Organic Trade Association among other great organizations, to achieve equality, health and sustainability for all. Gallant has partnered with UPS in carbon offset program. We offset all of the carbon emissions created in our shipping processes by planting trees, conserving land and cleaning up waterways and oceans.
Gallant supports these goals in every way possible. We aim to aid the UN in achieving all of these wonderful goals by 2030. Join us in the movement and promote these goals in your everyday life. How are you working towards sustainable development?
