At Blue Bison Sports, we are a firm believer in corporate
citizenship.Bench-marks.org defines
this relatively new term as... “A new contract between business and society, a
vision of partnership between different sections of community, which allies
profitable companies with healthy communities because what happens to societies
happens to business.” (Source: bench-marks.org/glossary.shtml)
We try to build Corporate Social Responsibility into our
business plan and honor the so-called triple bottom line of People, Planet, and
Profit.While we are still a young
organization, it is just as important to put our customers first.
To show our support for the community, we have been able to
provide many baskets for Chinese auctions.We also collect donations for the Western New York Lacrosse 4 Kids
organization and have organized a few give-aways in order to boost donations.
Blue Bison Sports has developed a partnership with the
Ireland Lacrosse Foundation, whereby we provide a storefront (free of charge)
for their apparel.100% of our sales go
back to the charity.In our first year
of the collaboration, we have provided an outlet which has raised over
$1,200.00 for their organization.
Global responsibility is also a focus at our store.The nature of our products makes it easy to
make sales without using plastic shopping bags.In the few instances where a bag might be needed, we are conscience to
ask the customer if they would like a bag rather than automatically providing
it to them.Ultimately, we can envision
using reusable cloth bags for these purchases that would simultaneously act as
an advertising opportunity for the store.
