We don’t just make merch, we make an impact.

Gemnote is where great design meets responsible sourcing. let’s build a greener future together

01

Green suppliers for planet-positive swag

We make it easy for you to source products from eco-conscious suppliers producing minimal waste. Over the last decade, we’ve built a catalog of sustainable products, textiles, designs, as well as B Corp and Climate Neutral certified suppliers, all aimed at offering you the most sustainable options. 

02

Diverse and inclusive partnerships

We’re committed to buying from and working with women and minority-led local businesses. This approach not only fosters inclusion and diversity in our product line but also supports economic growth, as small businesses often give back to their communities.

03

Economic sustainability matters to us

We’re big on sourcing from vendors creating stable, high-quality jobs in the US — those that pay fair wages and invest in their communities with education and resources. We also donate samples and unused swag to local charities within the San Francisco Bay Area community.

04

Responsibly made, sturdy packaging

We offer packaging and unboxing accessories made from recyclable materials like cardboard and paper. Most of these are both recyclable and biodegradable — breaking down within 180 days in a home compost and 90 days in a commercial compost. By choosing these eco-friendly options, you can contribute to reducing waste and supporting a healthier planet.

05

Fuel-efficient overseas shipping

With us, you can choose from carbon-neutral shipping options to minimize the environmental impact of each delivery. We partner with sustainability-focused international carriers, aiming for carbon-neutral operations by 2040, and track the CO2e impact of our shipments to ensure continuous improvement.

We donate samples and unused swag to local charities, including women’s shelters and youth programs, reducing waste while giving back to the community.
