All together for the planet

We say that a lot—because we mean it. We can do far more together than we can alone. And, saving our planet takes more than what one person, company or organization can do on its own. That’s where we play a role.

We've seen firsthand how a single collective action by a dedicated group of people can create a world of difference. Our impact is not simply the movement of money toward a worthy cause. It's businesses and individuals taking responsibility for the environment. It's conscious consumers who purchase for the planet. It's donors that make their money matter. It's our approved Environmental Partners going to work. It's our dedicated network collectively taking action.

Hands in Together

Forming partnerships

The foundation of the 1% for the Planet network is the member-nonprofit partnership. Our business members engage directly with approved Environmental Partners, providing financial donations, volunteer time, in-kind donations, and other shared-value collaborations. Thriving partnerships help deliver longer-term support and greater impact.

Certification

Third-party certification provides credibility and represents an annual opportunity for business  members to assess their giving strategy. Businesses share verification of their annual sales and donation receipts from their Environmental Partners at the end of their fiscal year. We confirm that each member is fulfilling their annual 1% commitment.
