We are so happy to announce that IGC has joined 1% for the Planet as an environmental partner! This partnership is meant to advance our climate justice impact while encouraging more businesses to commit to accelerating the environmental movement.
How it works:
1% for the Planet business members give at least 1% of their annual sales directly to approved environmental partners, like IGC.
Members can support approved environmental partners by donating through a combination of monetary, in-kind and approved promotional expenses.
1% for the Planet guides and supports this giving and provides credible third party certification.
1% for the Planet is an accountability partner for businesses that are ready to reject business as usual and give back to environmental partners 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.
IGC joins 6,700+ vetted environmental partners around the world who are advancing rights to nature, conservation and restoration, resilient communities, and just economies.
“The intent of 1% for the Planet is to help fund these diverse environmental organizations so that collectively they can be a more powerful source in solving the world’s problems,” writes Yvon Chouinard, co-founder of 1% for the Planet.
