1% for the Planet Sustainability Actions

Certifies annual 1% giving

1% for the Planet certifies businesses that give at least 1% of annual sales or revenue to approved environmental partners. Members must submit proof of revenue and contribution receipts each year. This makes the model more than a promise, because the group checks that the giving actually happened. The organisation says this can apply to a whole company, a brand, or a single product line, depending on how the member signs up.

Supports vetted impact partners

The organisation connects member businesses with vetted environmental partners. These partners can receive money, in-kind donations such as products or services, and employee volunteer time. The source material says members can also direct part of their contribution to enterprise impact partners. This shows that 1% for the Planet is not only about fundraising, but also about steering support toward groups working on environmental solutions.

Runs a global member network

1% for the Planet says it has a global network of businesses and environmental organisations across many countries. The site describes thousands of members and impact partners, and says the network helps companies share their giving story and use the 1% logo. In plain terms, it acts like a membership system that combines certification, communication tools, and access to environmental partners.

Built partnerships with industry groups

In 2025, 1% for the Planet announced a strategic partnership with the European Outdoor Group. The agreement gives members of both groups extra benefits and lets them support sustainability work such as decarbonisation, responsible consumption and production, and environmental education. This shows the organisation is also building links with industry bodies to widen its reach and direct more money toward environmental work.
