Fighting climate change

We have pledged 1% of our gross sales to '1% for the planet'. As members of 1% for the Planet, we pledge to give a minimum of 1% of our gross sales to nonprofit causes. We’ll be audited by the 1% for the planet team to ensure we are giving like we say we will, and they also hook us up with carefully vetted charities that are putting the planet first.

Our MD said: “We all know the planet is in huge trouble. So it seems the least we can do is get money to people like WWF to plant trees, or Ocean Conservancy pull the plastic out of the ocean.” Angus Bradley
