Brand Ethos and Online Merchandising Store

Living our ABTC Values

At ABTC, we believe in leaving things better than we found them. Our values are the heart of everything we do. Our branded gear is a testament to these values and our commitment to social and environmental stewardship. Each item on our site has been carefully considered and selected to support ethical and domestic sourcing practices, decreased waste in landfills and lower environmental impacts whenever possible. Read specific details about each curated product.

In order to provide merchandise that aligns with these values, ABTC has contracted HALO Branded Solutions as an independent third-party vendor. HALO is a leader in the branded merchandise and apparel business, not only as the largest US distributor but also in influencing their suppliers and customers towards ESG solutions. “At HALO we view sustainability as more than just good business. Our sustainability efforts reflect our vision of corporate accountability to our clients, the communities in which we operate, and the global reach of the products and services we provide.” Marc Simon, CEO, HALO.

We do not receive profits from the sales of merchandise or manage the finances of the store. For any questions or concerns regarding orders, please contact our HALO representative, Thomas Amestoy, at Thomas.Amestoy@halo.com.

Leaving Things Better Than We Found Them

As part of our commitment to being low-waste and to avoid over production of materials, items will be produced at the end of each campaign and when final orders have been placed. Please note the production and shipping timeline for each item can vary with delivery times of up to 6 weeks. If minimum quantities are not met for certain products, orders may need to be adjusted and any cancellations will be fully refunded.
