1% for the Planet is an accountability partner for businesses that are ready to reject business as usual and give back to environmental partners making a difference around the globe. Started in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, their members have given hundreds of millions of dollars to environmental partners to date.
“The intent of 1% for the Planet is to help fund these diverse environmental organizations so that collectively they can be a more powerful source in solving the world’s problems,” writes Yvon Chouinard, co-founder of 1% for the Planet.
“I’ve always admired the vision Yvon Choinard and Craig Matthews had with 1% for the Planet. For the Watersmith Guild to be part of this network and ecosystem that now spans the planet is an absolute dream come true. I can’t wait to align our mission with the goals of partners and businesses to see how much of an impact we can make for underserved communities and the waterways we all rely on.”
Special thanks to everyone at Ecolink for their support in becoming a 1% for the Planet Environmental Partner!
