We are pleased to launch a partnership with environmental nonprofit 1% for the Planet. This partnership gives the brands in our community the chance to expand the impact of their Green Seal certification by qualifying them toward 1% for the Planet membership as well.
1% for the Planet is an accountability partner for businesses that are ready to reject business as usual and give back to environmental organizations 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.
Businesses earn 1% for the Planet certification by contributing 1% of their annual sales to environmental causes. Because we are a 1% for the Planet environmental partner, brands can count any fees paid to Green Seal toward their 1% for the Planet annual commitment.
We’re thrilled to join this global network of business members and environmental partners in 1% for the Planet’s mission to inspire action so that our planet and future generations thrive.
This is our latest partnership to promote certified products, cleaning services, and hotels, including with Amazon Climate Pledge Friendly, Wayfair, Google Travel, the International WELL Building Institute, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Health Product Declaration Collaborative.
