“Our member companies have donated more than US$175m to our environmental non-profit partners to date,” says Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet.

“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 Made With Respect to our global network.”

Made With Respect is a platform for sustainable self-care, fashion, accessories, home décor and outdoor gear.
