Sustainability, It’s a Passion – transcript
Hi, I am Elizabeth Dasso with Bish Creative. At Bish, we are committed to the selection of raw materials we source throughout our global supply chain and in our offices. We will focus our actions on these sustainability principles: environmental impact, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement to protect our planet and the future.
Over the past five years, we’ve started making significant sustainable improvements at our corporate offices in an effort to decrease our carbon footprint. We’ve lowered our energy usage 16% with LED lighting throughout our offices, a more efficient warehouse design, reduced and improved packaging materials, monitored waste, recycling, as well as reuse.
During this time, we’ve also joined EcoVadis, a global supplier of business sustainability rankings, which encompasses 21 sustainability criteria. EcoVadis encompasses over 100,000 companies collaborating on sustainability with a common platform, a universal scorecard, benchmarks, and performance improvement tools. EcoVadis includes over 200 industries and over 150 countries.
Through our environmental, labor and human rights, and ethical benchmarks, we were awarded the bronze EcoVadis medal in 2021 and a silver medal in 2022. Through the Sedex platform, we assess the entire ethical and social performance of our suppliers, from FSC certifications to SCS recycled content certification.
This Earth Day, I’m thrilled to report the improvements we’ve made this past year at our Bish headquarters. This includes an increase of over 400% of eco-friendly packaging purchases, static-free organic starch biodegradable peanuts that decompose in water, leaving no toxic waste. We have eliminated polystyrene packaging peanuts, eco-friendly air pillows which are 100% recyclable, lowered single-use plastic in our shipments by over 80%. We’ve also repurposed and reused wood in our offices and in our displays. We continue to make facility improvements for the health and wellness of our employees by offering new workstations, sit/stand desks, and a repurposed Bish garden.
One of the newer initiatives last year was to increase our charitable donations. What a better way than letting our customers select a charity that’s important to them. At Bish Creative, sustainability is not just a mission, it’s a passion to foster a sustainable future for our customers and our planet.
As a Project Manager for Bish Creative, this professional has ownership for all aspects of design, manufacturing, and delivery of displays customized to each client’s needs. Building relationships with the assigned clients (generally 4-6) is critical, as is detailed project management of up to 150 projects per year. The display business is core for Bish, and as such is in a critical position to drive success for the entire company. The Project Manager will be a member of the Director of Acct Mgmt Staff, which meets bi-weekly.

As a Prototype Engineer / Model Maker, you will part of a highly creative and award-winning design studio. This professional’s top role is to build or modify prototypes from renderings or engineering drawings. Projects will be constructed of wood, metal, acrylic, corrugated, plastics, electronics, or a combination thereof. Associated with this work is the need to create packaging for safe transport, take professional photos, or develop instruction sheets for end use. The merchandising business is fast-paced, so flexibility to respond to short lead-times is critical as priorities change. The Model Maker must work very closely with our Conceptual Designers and Account Managers to bring projects to life. A well-built, professional prototype is many times the difference between getting a large order, or none at all. With the proper background, training, and job performance, career advancement is possible. This includes moves to Senior Model Maker, or Structural Designer. The Model Maker is a member of the VP of Designs staff and will work directly with each individual designer and their projects.
