Goldstar: Reinforcing Responsible Growth

Goldstar, a leading global supplier of promotional products, has published its 2025 ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) Report. The report focuses on measurable data, independent assessments and improved traceability throughout the supply chain. “Our approach to ESG is simple: we openly state where we stand and honestly say where we are heading,” said Heather Smartt, Global Head of Goldstar. “We know that our business partners in the industry value facts more than promises. This report reflects the concrete measures we are taking to act more responsibly whilst continuing to offer high-quality products and reliable service.”

The 2025 ESG Report highlights progress in several key areas of Goldstar’s commitments:
• Environmental impact – Goldstar continues to focus on phasing out PVC and polystyrene, whilst working to remove problematic plastics from its entire product range.
• Independent assessments – 99 per cent of the company’s paper-based packaging and wood fibre products are FSC®-certified (Forest Stewardship Council).
• Supply chain transparency – Goldstar is expanding traceability through Digital Product Passports (DPP) based on Aware™ Tracer technology, enabling customers to better track the journey from raw material to end product.
• People and culture – The report also highlights progress in the area of inclusion: 56 per cent of leadership roles are held by women.

Despite this progress, Goldstar emphasises that ESG is an ongoing process: “We’re not claiming to be perfect here,” Smartt continues. “We’re here to present our actions, learn from them and continue to improve. Responsible growth requires transparency, collaboration and accountability.”
