Saul Good Gift Co. is more than a gift basket and promotional products company. It uses corporate gifts to communicate values around sustainability, local purchasing (to Vancouver, BC), and community engagement to build powerful relationships for its clients. The company refuses to package thoughtless “stuff” in grandiose and wasteful packaging. Instead, the contents of Saul Good gifts come with their own stories that together form a much more meaningful and memorable experience.
Saul Good has been an active member in our neighbourhood’s local green business improvement association since 2008, which helps area businesses and the community find ways to actively support one another. We joined B Corporation because we see the same commitment to high environmental and social standards writ large, and the added opportunities of being a Canadian early adopter.
The Change We Seek®
Saul Good Gift's green-roofed office is located in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, which is a neighbourhood that contains the poorest postal code in Canada and numerous social issues. However, Saul Good is proud to be part of a vanguard of entrepreneurial businesses in the area that are using sustainable and community-minded business models as a force for positive, mindful, change.
