One Percent for the Planet is an international organization whose members contribute at least one percent of their annual revenue to environmental causes to protect the environment. [1] [2]
Since 1985, Patagonia pledged 1% of sales to the preservation of restoration of the natural environment. [3]
In 2002, 1% for the Planet was founded by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, owner of Blue Ribbon Flies, [4] to "encourage more businesses to donate 1% of sales to environmental groups". [5] Since its creation, the organization has been joined by countries around the world, with a great number of partners in France, Great Britain, Australia, and Japan. [6] France is the only country to have an independent entity.
BIC joined as a member in 2022 with an eco-friendly product line; Honest Tea joined with a glass product line. [7] Other notable members include OXO, New Belgium Brewing Company, Klean Kanteen, and Nature's Path's EnviroKidz brand. [8] [9] [10] [11]
