In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I speak with Tara Milburn, founder and CEO of Ethical Swag, a certified B Corp that’s transforming the promotional products industry.
Too often, branded merchandise ends up in landfill or is produced in supply chains lacking transparency. Tara shares how her company is proving there’s a better way, where every procurement choice can reflect your values, reduce waste, and support fair labour.
We explore:
✅ Why promotional products are a powerful (and overlooked) part of sustainable supply chains
✅ How to spot and avoid greenwashing with trusted third-party audits
✅ Why embedding sustainability across an organisation is the new digital transformation
✅ Practical steps for procurement teams to balance budget and impact
✅ How impact reporting and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals can strengthen ESG strategies
If you’re a supply chain leader, procurement professional, or sustainability advocate, this conversation will challenge you to rethink the small decisions that create big impact.
