About 1% for the Planet
1% FOR THE PLANET is an alliance of businesses that understand the necessity of protecting the natural environment. They understand that profit and loss are directly linked to its health and are concerned with the social and environmental impacts of industry.
It all started like this … Not long ago, a mountain climber and a fisherman realized they had a lot more in common than a disdain for wearing a suit to work. Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, owner of Blue Ribbon Flies, were also passionate environmentalists that happened to be running successful businesses. More important, they understood it was good business to protect the natural resources that kept them in business. And the rest is history.
Since its inception in 2002, the 1% network has become one of the largest funders of environmental work around. Membership consists of thousands of businesses in 48 countries, together giving over $435 million to over 3,000 environmental groups worldwide.
