1% For the Planet Activities
Blue Chemistry is giving back 1% of all sales, not profits, to environmental causes.
Seoul, South Korea, 2021 – Blue Chemistry joined 1% for the Planet, committing to donate 1% of annual sales to support environmental organizations focused on the environment.
'Currently, only 3% of total philanthropy goes to the environment and, only 5% of that comes from businesses. The planet needs bigger support than this, and our growing network of business members are doing vital work to increase giving and support on-the-ground action. We're excited to welcome Blue Chemistry to our global movement,' says Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet.
By contributing 1% of our annual sales, thousands of 1% for the Planet members have raised millions in funding to support environmental partners around the globe.
Partners are vetted and approved based on referrals, track record, and environmental focus. With over 5,000 environmental partners in the 1% for the Planet network, every member can find and support the causes that matter most to them.
