Sweep and Stand4Socks - Partnership Built on Sustainability and Social Impact
About Sweep
Founded in 2020, Sweep is a leading sustainability data management platform co-founded by Rachel Delacour, Yannick Chaze, and Raphael Gueller.
Its mission is to help businesses take control of their environmental and social impacts by providing them with data on their carbon emissions, water usage, waste output, and more, both in their operations and supply chains.
Headquartered in France and the UK, Sweep is a B Corp-certified company, a member of the World Bank’s Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition, France Invest, and the International Emissions Trading Association.
The Challenge
They sought a supplier for branded merchandise that aligned with its own sustainability ethos. The company needed to find a product that would not only serve as a memorable gift for their employees but also reflect their commitment to the environment and social good.
It was crucial that the supplier shared Sweep's values of sustainability, inclusivity, and fun.
They found the perfect partner in Stand4Socks, being a B Corp-certified company that shares Sweep’s commitment to sustainability and social impact. Stand4Socks uses ethically sourced materials in their products and, for every pair of socks purchased, donates a pair to people in need.
The Solution
Sweep sought company merchandise that would embody their core values of environmental and social responsibility, inclusivity, and a sense of fun. "We wanted to give our 'Sweepers' some company merchandise that would represent our company ethos of strong environmental and social commitment, inclusivity, and fun," explained a Sweep representative. Their search led them to Stand4 Socks, whose ethical practices and commitment to donating socks resonated deeply with Sweep's mission.
"When we learned about Stand4Socks’ ethical practices and their commitment to donating socks, it felt like a good fit," the representative continued. This partnership allowed Sweep to provide their team with high-quality, branded merchandise while simultaneously supporting a company dedicated to social impact, creating a tangible representation of Sweep's values and fostering a stronger sense of community within the organization.
