1% for the Planet
As a member of 1% for the Planet, Papaya Lane® donates a minimum 1% of annual sales to support environmental non-profit organisations.
Core to our business is taking an active part on supporting sustainability, we do this by sourcing products created with the best sustainable and ethical standards. But we want our efforts to be scalable and that's we are proud members of the 1% for the Planet, a global organisation that connects dollars with doers to accelerate smart environmental giving.
What is 1% for the Planet?
1% for the Planet was created in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, environmentalist and Founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies. Together they set out to build a network of like-minded businesses, non-profits and consumers who are united around the idea that profit and giving back can work symbiotically.
Since 2002, 1% for the Planet offers businesses around the world a channel to give back one percent of their revenue to grassroots environmental groups who are out there working to keep natural wonders in the world. Today, 1% for the Planet is a network of more than 2,000 business members, a new and expanding core of individual members and thousands of nonprofit partners in more than 60 countries.
How could you contribute to the 1% for the Planet?
