SAGE Adds New ESG/Diversity Search Filters in SAGE Total Access

 Addison, TX – SAGE, the leading provider of information, marketing, and business management solutions to the promotional products industry, in partnership with PPAI's DEI task force, announces the addition of ESG/Diversity search filters in SAGE Total Access, the first search capability of its kind within the industry. 

"This truly is a game changer with regards to redefining search for products with purpose,” said Danny Rosin, Co-President of Brand Fuel and Co-Founder of PromoCares.

SAGE Total Access users will now be able to search for businesses that are B Corp and CSR Certified, as well as search for companies that are disability-owned, Hispanic-owned, LGBTQ+ owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and minority-owned.

“The PPAI DEI Task Force was thrilled for the announcement of the new SAGE ESG/Diversity search to be rolled out at The PPAI Expo,” said Cindy Tsuji, Senior Account Executive of Image Source and member of the PPAI DEI Task Force.

“As our clients require us to provide diverse supplier solutions for them, it is great to be able to have a resource for our members to search. We look forward to making this a more robust tool as we progress doing the continued work.”

Suppliers can upload certification documentation for those who have a certification for a specific characteristic. Companies previously noted as woman, veteran, or minority-owned businesses have been categorized under the new ESG/Diversity search filter option. Suppliers can now upload documents and mark their ESG/Diversity status through the SAGE Supplier Center.
