Our Part: Making a Difference
At Drive Sportswear & Promotions, we are dedicated to making a meaningful impact on both our planet and our community.
We believe that sustainability and community involvement go hand in hand in creating a brighter future. By embracing eco-friendly practices and engaging in initiatives that support those in need, we strive to be a positive force for change.
Our commitment is rooted in the belief that every effort, no matter how small, contributes to a healthier planet and a stronger, more connected community. Together, we can build a future where everyone thrives.
Our Commitment to a Sustainable Future
At Drive Sportswear, we recognize the growing importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in addressing global environmental challenges. We are committed to staying informed about current and emerging concerns and actively contributing to a greener tomorrow. By integrating sustainable business values and green initiatives, we aim to address pressing environmental issues affecting our planet’s atmosphere, oceans, and land.
We understand that as a business, we have a responsibility to reduce our ecological footprint and promote sustainability. To fulfill this commitment, Drive Sportswear takes daily measures such as:
- Minimizing waste: Donating excess clothing and apparel to shelters for those in need.
- Sustainable shipping: Following environmentally friendly practices for all client orders.
- Expanding options: Continuously researching and adding sustainable, ethically sourced products to our library.
Our goal is to lead by example in the sustainable product industry, offering eco-friendly and ethically sourced solutions while inspiring others to join us on the journey toward a more sustainable future. Together, we can make a lasting impact for generations to come.
Drive Sportswear and its supplier partners are continually looking at ways to reduce our environmental impact. Offering items manufactured using recycled materials in almost any product category has become a focus in product development. Wasteful packaging is being reduced and in many cases eliminated completely. Delivering your products with the smallest environmental impact is an industry priority!
Giving Back
2024 Toy Drive for Toy Angels
We’re thrilled to share the incredible success of our 2024 Toy Drive in partnership with SAFE Canada for the 30th TOY ANGELS campaign! Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, we collected an impressive number of toys to bring joy to children in need this holiday season.
From drop-offs at our Calgary office to pickups arranged by our Sales & Marketing Manager, Justin Rambaransingh, every donation played a part in making this initiative a success. Together, we’ve helped brighten the holidays for families across the region and reminded everyone of the power of giving back.
At Drive Sportswear, we’re proud to support meaningful initiatives like this and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in our community. Thank you for helping us spread holiday cheer!
Calgary Food Bank
Over the span of three days, The Cool Choir and Drive Sportswear filled 43 boxes of non-perishables and children’s gifts to donate to the Calgary Food Bank and Children’s Corner. The Children’s Corner is a charity that is dedicated to providing less fortunate children with everything they need to create special birthday memories. Family is very important to the team at Drive Sportswear, and as a family-run business that values time together this cause really hit home for all of us. Every child deserves to celebrate their birthday and the financial situation of their family or caregivers should not limit a childs’ ability to enjoy their special day.
Synergy Silent Auction
From March. 31 to April. 11, 2022, Synergy hosted a silent auction fundraiser for its community and youth development programs.
The fundraiser consisted of the Worlds Longest Hockey Game which lasted a total of 12 consecutive days and it’s efforts raised over $20,000 for the Synergy community.
Drive Sportswear – along with many other companies – was a sponsor and contributor to Synergy’s hockey game. Synergy Youth and Community Development Society strive to empower Chestermere youth to engage in there community by building relationships, providing leadership and having fun collectively.
The money raised from this fundraiser is going directly towards the development of youth programs and funding for the Synergy community.
Roar For Johbis
As you may know Drive Sportswear is a family run business, and family for us means the world. It is something we cherish deeply which is why we believe its necessary to spread awareness on this movement.
A friend of ours found this teddy bear and told us about the little boy who started it all. Johbis was 4 years old when he lost his life due to a terrible condition called AVM. Our hearts broke after reading about his story; as parents, and as grandparents this story hurts us deeply. Toys have been found worldwide for remembrance of this little boys’ fight, and this one was found in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
We encourage you all to keep Johbis’ memory alive by:
• Following the hashtag (#roarforjohbis) on Instagram
• Join the dedicated Facebook group “Roar for Johbis Group”.
Let’s never stop sharing Johbis’ story.
