Sustainability in Medal Form

At Running Imp, we acknowledge that the forestry sector has a vital role to play in tackling emerging global challenges, not just in relation to forests. Climate change has become a key issue on the world stage, and at every stage of their life cycle, forests and wooden products can contribute to solving these problems.

As a company, we produce products that put more back into nature than they take out. We strive to be a force for good whilst treading lightly on our planet.

Why choose wooden? 

Wooden medals strike real resonance with the environmental issues at hand. As far as our FSC approved wooden medals go, we can provide something that is environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable.

We work with you to design and create unique medals, trophies and awards for your event. Whether it’s eco-friendly wooden for a one-off award or thousands of medals for an event, we have got you covered. 

Greater use of wood products by all of us has a significant role to play in contributing towards a renewable solution for global environmental problems. We work with our customers to design and create unique medals, trophies and awards so, a sustainable approach to this seemed inevitable as we all become more aware of environmental issues and how we can do our bit to minimise the issues we face. 

Our fantastic sustainability credentials start with the sourcing of the raw material we use to create our medals. We only use wood from FSC certified forests, that have to prove they are managed in an environmentally appropriate manner. These forests are a natural, renewable solution for global environmental problems such as climate change, ecosystem destruction and landscape deterioration caused by increasing consumption.

Then we take a step away from where the material is sourced and return closer to home – each medal purchased takes us one step closer to a greener and more sustainable world.

Why work with us?

At Running Imp, we care passionately about the environment and sustainability. We are addressing how we run our operations, supply chain, packing materials, water and energy use. For a smaller footprint, alongside wooden medals, our ribbons are made with environmentally friendly non-toxic inks, and we offer Recyclable Heat Transfer and Recyclable RPET Yarn Ribbons.

We’re also conscious of plastics and are working on removing them from our products and offering alternatives that are made from recyclable material, such as our flag branding material and supplying wooden stakes instead of plastic ones.
