Currently, only 3% of total philanthropy goes to the environment and, only 3% of that comes from businesses. The planet needs bigger support than this, and our growing network of member businesses is doing its valuable part to increase giving and support on the ground outcomes. Our members lead with purpose and commitment, characteristics that consumers support. We're excited to welcome bambu® to our global network," says Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet.
“Reducing our impact on the planet is the DNA of why bambu was founded. We face a long list of environmental challenges around the world. It is in all our interests to work towards creating a healthier planet and we believe business has a responsibility to give back,” explained Jeff Delkin, owner and co-founder of bambu.
Members of 1% for the Planet contribute one percent of annual sales directly to any of the approved nonprofit environmental organizations in the network. Nonprofits are approved based on referrals, track record and environmental focus. Thousands of nonprofits worldwide are currently approved.
