We are thrilled to announce that we are now part of the B1 community.
B1s are businesses that are both B Corp certified and members of 1% for the Planet. It is a practical combination. B Corp looks at how a business is run. 1% for the Planet commits members to giving 1% of annual revenue to approved environmental partners.
For us, this is about being clear on how we work and where we put our money. The 1% for the Planet network now includes more than 4,300 businesses across more than 110 countries. Its members have contributed over $870 million in certified giving to environmental causes with the UK its third biggest market.
Global members include Patagonia, the outdoor clothing and equipment company that helped start 1% for the Planet, and OXO, the kitchenware and home products brand.
We are so pleased to be members ourselves as well as working with 1% for the Planet, supporting with communications strategy and media relations on making environmental giving easier for businesses to understand and act on
Of course, certifications like these are not a substitute for doing the work. They do, however, give companies a clearer framework for action and a more credible way to talk about progress. And that matters in a market where customers, employees and partners are paying closer attention to what businesses say and whether they can back it up. Our colleagues at Wilful have written a handy guide to some certifications here.
