Founders have the remarkable opportunity to make conscious choices when launching a company. Among these choices, there has always been a focus on increasing our awareness of the impact we have on the planet.
I’ve always been passionate about sustainability and trying to make conscious choices both personally, and now as a company. I am so proud to announce that Fungo is now a member of 1% for the Planet, a global movement that actively supports environmental solutions.
At Fungo, our mission is clear: We’re in business to create balanced minds. We understand that mental well-being is intrinsically linked to our connection with the natural world. It is not only about nurturing our own well-being but also about fostering a healthier planet for future generations.
Founded in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, 1% for the Planet is a global movement born out of a love for the outdoors and a shared responsibility to protect our planet. Their idea was simple yet powerful: give 1% of sales back to the environment. Since then, they have directed hundreds of millions of dollars to environmental nonprofits worldwide.
Today, 1% for the Planet is a network of over 5,000 members, including brands like Patagonia, Pukka Herbs, Paynter Jacket Co, who are committed to giving 1% of their annual revenue to support environmental causes. By joining this movement, we align ourselves with a community that believes in taking tangible action for our planet.
As a small business, we believe it’s our responsibility to give back and make a positive impact.
Through this partnership, we pledge to give 1% of our annual revenue back to the environment. This commitment holds us accountable for taking meaningful action in support of the environment.
1% for the Planet supports a diverse range of nonprofit partners already working diligently to address pressing environmental challenges. These organisations have a proven track record of making a difference on the ground. Our contributions to 1% for the Planet directly benefit these highly vetted nonprofit partners, allowing them to expand their vital work.
As a member, we have the privilege of choosing where our impact goes. Some of the renowned environmental nonprofits in the 1% for the Planet network include Eden Trust (part of the Eden Project), Rewilding Britain, World Land Trust, WWF UK & TreeSisters.Â
We also aim to support nonprofits working toward equal access and diversity in outdoor spaces, such as Alpkit Foundation.Â
By choosing Fungo products, you not only embark on a journey to balance your mind but also contribute to a healthier planet. Together, we can make a real impact.
