1% FOR THE PLANET is a global network of businesses that recognize the urgent need to protect the natural environment.
These companies understand that profit and loss are directly linked to the health of our planet, and they actively address the social and environmental impacts of their industries.
I’ve been part of the 1% FOR THE PLANET community for several years now, committing to donate 1% of my revenue to support the preservation and restoration of the natural environment. Instead of donating this money directly to 1% FOR THE PLANET, I choose to give it directly to recognized nonprofit organizations of my choice or offer them my services free of charge. In return, I receive certification from 1% FOR THE PLANET. This direct connection with nonprofits is faster and more efficient, with 1% FOR THE PLANET providing expert guidance along the way.
Our planet can’t wait!
“ This is not philanthropy. It's paying rent for the use of the planet.”

The evidence is overwhelming: climate change is an immediate threat, and our soils, waters, and species are under greater pressure than ever before. If we don’t act now, the viability of our planet and our quality of life—not to mention the health of our economy—will face existential risks.
If you’re a business owner (or can influence your boss), consider joining this socially and environmentally progressive group. By donating 1% of our annual revenue to organizations, we, the members of 1% FOR THE PLANET, are driving real change.
Membership also comes with additional benefits: the satisfaction of paving the way for greater corporate responsibility in the business world, as well as recognition, support, and favor from conscientious consumers who value serious commitments to the environment.
