Discover how businesses of all sizes can create lasting environmental change through the power of giving back.
In a world where environmental challenges grow more urgent every day, businesses are stepping up to take responsibility for their impact. One initiative that has captured the attention of changemakers around the globe is 1% for the Planet—a movement that turns everyday business into a force for environmental good.
If your company is exploring ways to contribute to sustainability while aligning with a purpose-driven mission, this is a program worth knowing about.
Founded in 2002 by Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard and Blue Ribbon Flies founder Craig Mathews, 1% for the Planet encourages businesses and individuals to commit 1% of their annual revenue to environmental causes. The idea is simple yet powerful: when businesses give back, we can collectively create a healthier planet for future generations.
To date, the program has facilitated over $580 million in environmental giving, supporting nonprofits that focus on climate change, wildlife preservation, sustainable agriculture, and more.
