Sustainable Employee Onboarding Kit by Merch Story

Merch Story’s sustainable onboarding kit is a beautifully curated collection that goes beyond the traditional welcome pack. It serves not just as a functional toolset for new employees but as a strong statement of a company’s dedication to sustainability and corporate responsibility.

Each product in the kit—from the soft and durable felt bags made from recycled materials to the sleek bamboo water bottles—is chosen not only for its practical use but also for its minimal environmental impact. The cotton tote bags and cork-based notebooks echo the same theme: sustainability without compromise. These are items designed to be used daily, reducing waste and encouraging an eco-friendly lifestyle both in and out of the workplace.

The process of crafting these kits is as thoughtful as the products themselves. At Merch Story, we adhere to strict eco-friendly manufacturing processes. This includes using renewable resources, minimizing waste, and ensuring that all materials are sourced ethically. The glass and brass water bottles are a prime example of this commitment. Made from high-strength, recyclable glass and topped with a sturdy brass cap, these bottles combine durability with timeless design, while avoiding the use of plastics.

When companies choose to gift their new hires with these kits, they’re not just providing tools and resources; they’re also weaving an ethos of environmental responsibility into the fabric of their company culture. This not only impresses upon new employees the importance of sustainability but also helps attract talent who values a company’s commitment to making a positive impact on the world.

Furthermore, Merch Story offers a range of customization options for the kits, allowing companies to embed their brand identity into each item seamlessly. This level of personalization not only enhances brand recognition but also reinforces the company’s commitment to green practices in a way that employees can feel proud of.

In essence, Merch Story’s sustainable onboarding kit is more than just a collection of items. It is a comprehensive introduction to a company’s ethos, a daily reminder of the values that guide the organization, and a practical toolkit that empowers employees to contribute positively to their environment, making it a truly integral part of the modern eco-conscious business.
