How it works

A simple promise, kept every year

1% for the Planet connects businesses with environmental groups. Its members make one clear commitment, and the network makes sure they keep it.

  1. Businesses join

    Companies that want to look after the planet sign up as members of 1% for the Planet, a global network.

  2. 1% of annual sales

    Each member promises at least 1% of its yearly sales. Sales, not profit, so the giving happens in lean years too.

  3. To environmental nonprofits

    The money goes straight to approved environmental groups, and 1% for the Planet checks the giving every year.
