As we continue our journey into sustainability, we want to shine a spotlight on those companies that have started to make changes within their business and their processes. Originally published by The Giftware Association<\/a><\/strong>, this article aims at introducing a good example of Talking Tables<\/a><\/strong>,<\/a> who have taken big steps on their eco journey to become more sustainable in both their products and processes. View the videos below where CEO Sarah Ward of The Giftware Association\u00a0spoke to the team at Talking Tables about the steps on their eco journey from removing plastic to sourcing responsibly. Follow their journey from where they started to where they are now.<\/p>

The videos also highlight how a brand like Talking Tables has faced challenges, like many businesses over the past few years including supply chain issues and the use of brand awareness through Social Media to reach their audiences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
