1% for the Planet
Travelling is our passion, and this passion goes far beyond creating travel gear – it fuels our commitment to the people we meet and the planet we wander. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a new chapter in our story: CabinZero has joined the 1% for the Planet initiative, committing 1% of our annual sales (not profits) to support environmental nonprofit organisations focused on the environment.
What is 1% for the Planet?
1% for the Planet is a global network that connects thousands of businesses and environmental partners to work towards a common goal: to ensure our planet and future generations thrive. So far, over 4,887 business members have supported more than 7,265 approved environmental partners.
The programme was created in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies. They believe businesses are responsible for their environmental impact and should make a difference by donating 1% of their sales to environmental impact organisations.
Since then, 1% for the Planet has raised over $728 million (and counting!) for environmental causes and supports global environmental partners through a combination of monetary, in-kind and approved promotional expenses.
Commitment To A Positive Impact
Joining 1% for the Planet is one way we’re turning our values into action you can trust. This 1% commitment applies to all our sales, year in and year out, rain or shine. And we’re proud to make it. By tying our giving to our sales, we ensure that as CabinZero grows, our contributions to the planet grow too.
And it’s not just feel-good giving. Every donation is verified and goes to certified nonprofit organisations that meet 1% for the Planet’s rigorous standards. That means our 1% doesn’t just look good on paper — it creates actual results on the ground.
Like any great journey, this is just the first step. We’ll be the first to admit we’re at the beginning of this journey, and there’s so much to learn. We’re excited to grow our impact over time.
A Movement Everyone Can Be A Part Of
The best thing about 1% for the Planet is that everyone can join and contribute in their own ways. Whether you’re a small business, a global brand, a solo traveller, or simply someone who cares, there’s a place for you in this movement.
We believe in doing our bit —and bringing others along for the journey. Collective action adds up, and together we can do far more good than we ever could alone.
If you’re a business owner – or know someone who is – and want to be part of a global movement driving positive change for our planet, now’s the time. Click here to join us and thousands of others in committing just 1% for the planet and making every sale count.
