Our mission is to produce large-scale eco-conscious gift shows that provide people with an uplifting experience and a solution to the difficult emotions, inconveniences and terrible waste associated with the holidays and holiday shopping.

Environmental Policy

Eco Gift is on the cutting edge of the live event sustainability movement. At every level of business, we strive to promote the ideals of environmental sustainability and social consciousness. We work and partner with companies who already support or who are demonstrating a shift toward these same ideals.

Waste Management

At our shows, we have a state of the art waste management program. In 2007, we diverted 93% of all "garbage" away from landfills in favor of re-use, recycling and composting programs. The companies we have at our shows are held to the highest standards and are required to write a "Statement of Qualification," detailing the efforts they are making to be stewards of socially conscious and environmentally aware business practices.

Philanthropy

Each of our expos will directly benefit at least one non-profit organization whose work aligns with our company’s desire to address the problems facing humanity and the Earth. This year, Eco Gift Expo will donate 10% of its gross proceeds to The Whole Planet Foundation and Global Green USA. All Eco Gift Expo vendors have the opportunity to participate in our philanthropy program, known as The Book of Giving and Receiving. By opting in, our vendors agree to donate 10% of their sales at Eco Gift Expo to the expo’s charities, The Whole Planet Foundation and Global Green USA. Participating vendors are recognized in our event program.
