Nov 14, 2008

GatewayCDI
GatewayCDI recently launched a Web site dedicated to eco-friendly information and products.
GatewayCDI, a St. Louis promotional products distributor, recently launched gateway-green.com, an eco-friendly Web site featuring green information and trends in the promotional products industry, eco-friendly products and the company's green initiatives.

The Web site is part of GatewayCDI’s green initiative, which was started in the first quarter of 2006 and is powered by an internal group of 10 team members whose goal is to decrease the company's carbon footprint. Some examples include alternative transportation days, assisting the Saint Louis Cardinals Baseball Club’s recycling program and distributing reusable shopping bags to team members.

“We began looking into the green initiative early on and it has become an integral part of our marketing strategy,” sayd Chuck Fandos, president. "Not only is this good for the environment, it has also significantly improved our sales. We find that we’re able to offer our customers green solutions to their sales and marketing challenges — and that is exactly the type of assistance they want from us.” — H.H.
