The Western Port Biosphere Foundation is thrilled to join forces with 1% for the Planet as an official environmental partner. This partnership enables businesses to help us deliver on our commitment to preserving the unique ecosystems of the Western Port region and to enhancing our efforts to foster sustainability and conservation across the Biosphere.
1% for the Planet is a brilliant and proven concept that shows by committing an annual donation of just 1% of sales, every business can help ensure that future generations will experience the rich biodiversity and health ecosystems that we do today.
The platform was conceived and established in 2002 by Patagonia founder, Yvon Chouinard, and Blue Ribbon Files founder, Craig Mathews, for businesses that seek transparency and accountability as they donate to empower environmental partners to make a difference around the globe.
It has resulted in a global movement that inspires businesses and individuals to support environmental solutions through annual membership and everyday actions and has become a powerful force for change.
