🌍 Kerry Group & Croía Ireland: Crafting Global Sustainable Gifts

Client: Kerry Group

The Brief: Corporate Gift Boxes

About Kerry Group

Founded in 1972, Kerry Group has evolved from a small dairy company in Ireland to a global leader in taste and nutrition solutions. With operations in over 150 countries, Kerry Group is dedicated to delivering sustainable nutrition solutions, aiming to reach two billion people by 2030. Their commitment to innovation and sustainability positions them as a key partner for many of the world's leading food and beverage brands.

The Challenge

In December, Aoife from Kerry Group approached Croía Ireland with a time-sensitive request: to create onboarding and Christmas gifts for a newly formed global sustainability team. The challenge was multifaceted

Tight Timeline: Only 8 days from initial contact to dispatch.
Global Reach: Team members located in 13 countries, including Australia, Austria, Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Sweden, Thailand, and the USA.
Sustainability Focus: Gifts needed to reflect Irish authenticity, quality, and a strong emphasis on sustainability.

The Solution

Croía Ireland collaborated closely with Aoife to curate a selection of artisan Irish products that embodied the desired values. This included sourcing new, custom items to meet the specific vision for the gifts. To navigate international shipping and customs regulations, two tailored versions of the gift box were created: one for EU recipients and another for those outside the EU. This ensured compliance and thoughtful presentation for all recipients.

The Outcome

Each bespoke gift box contained a mix of carefully selected Irish-made products and a personalized note, all delivered smoothly and on time. The project not only met the logistical challenges but also resonated with the recipients, making them feel warmly welcomed and appreciated.

“Thanks again for all your help – the level of service you provided was amazing and made my task of organising gifts for my team during a busy time of year for us all a dream! The team also loved the quality of the gifts, so I’ll definitely be recommending you guys to friends, family & colleagues. Many thanks.”
— Aoife, Kerry Group

Why This Collaboration Stands Out

Authentic Irish Experience: Showcased Irish creativity and craftsmanship to a global audience.
Sustainability: Aligned with both companies' commitment to sustainable practices.
Efficiency: Demonstrated the ability to execute a complex, global project within a tight timeframe.

This case study exemplifies how strategic collaboration and shared values can lead to successful outcomes, even under challenging circumstances.
