1% For The Planet
What is 1% For The Planet?
1% For The Planet is an international organisation whose members contribute at least one percent of their annual sales to environmental causes, with the aim of putting people and the planet over profit; tackling our planet's most pressing environmental issues.
It was started by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies in 2002. Since then 1% For The Planet has given over $672,000,000 to 4872 environmental partners across over 100 countries.
