As an ADVOCATE: Support the cause…
1% for the Planet was founded on the idea that a company has a responsibility to give back for use of our planet’s resources. For more than two decades later, we’re still helping businesses make good on their commitments.
1% for the Planet was created by Yvon Chouinard and Craig Mathews as a way for businesses to hold themselves accountable for their environmental impact. Since then, we’ve expanded across the globe and helped thousands of businesses give back.
- OUR PURPOSE: To inspire commitment and action so that our planet and future generations thrive.
- OUR MISSION: To accelerate smart environmental giving and prevent greenwashing.
- OUR IMPACT: We’ve certified over $863million in environmental giving to date. (As of March 2025).
