One Percent for the Planet is an international organization whose members contribute at least one percent of their annual revenue to environmental causes to protect the environment.[1][2] Founded by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, owner of Blue Ribbon Flies in 2002,[3] the organization encourages "more businesses to donate 1% of sales to environmental groups".[4]
Since its creation, the organization has been joined by countries around the world, with a great number of partners in France, Great Britain, Australia, and Japan.[5] France is the only country to have an independent entity.
Since 1985, Patagonia pledged 1% of sales to the preservation of restoration of the natural environment.[6]
