Seattle-based Pacific Market International (PMI), owner of the iconic Stanley® and Aladdin® heritage brands, proudly announces the release of the company's first Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report: A Cycle of Balance. Of the 175 US based companies who released reports, PMI was one of just fifteen which reported at an A-Level1, a recognized standard for corporate principles of accountability, responsibility, and sustainability.

PMI is one of twelve small to medium enterprises (SME) in the United States to publish and register a report with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) in 2010. Corporate Responsibility has been a driving force for PMI since 1983. The company was founded with a vision and dedication toward Corporate Social Responsibility and an entrepreneurial spirit permeating company culture.

"As a company, PMI never wavers from our commitment to our principles," said Rob Harris, PMI's Founder and CEO. "These principles relate to people and the environment. Our commitment to sustainable business practices and working with factories whose values and commitment to people align with ours, allows us to grow responsibly."

"For us, CSR is challenging, exciting, and rewarding, and we're proud to have achieved an A-level with our first report," said Valerie Bone, Director of Corporate Responsibility at PMI. "At PMI, we're as innovative with our CSR projects as we are with our products. We collaborate with our customers and factory partners to implement CSR improvements that balance the pressures of daily business with the needs of long-term initiatives."
