Since 1985, Patagonia has pledged 1% of sales to the preservation and restoration of the natural environment. We've awarded over $140 million in cash and in-kind donations to domestic and international grassroots environmental groups making a difference in their local communities.
Patagonia Hong Kong pledges 1% of sales
Building on a longstanding dedication to environmental protection, Patagonia Hong Kong has taken a decisive step by officially joining the global non-profit alliance 1% for the Planet in 2022.
To focus efforts locally, an independently managed fund dedicated to Hong Kong-based environmental organisations has launched. The fund will provide targeted grants, product donations, and on-the-ground support, empowering local grassroots groups to accelerate their work more effectively.
This strategic move not only amplifies Patagonia’s local impact but also aims to inspire greater collaboration within Hong Kong’s sustainability community. Together with the grantees, Patagonia Hong Kong reinforces the movement to protect the planet’s resources and shape a sustainable future for all.
Intensify commitment to local conservation
Global network, local impact.
A network with incredible businesses and environmental organizations working together to support people and the planet.
In 2002, founder of Patagonia, Yvon Chouinard, and Craig Mathews, owner of Blue Ribbon Flies, created a non-profit corporation to encourage other businesses to do the same.
1% for the Planet is an alliance of businesses that understand the necessity of protecting the natural environment. They understand that profit and loss are directly linked to its health, and are concerned with the social and environmental impacts of industry.
If you're a business owner (or have any influence over your boss), please consider becoming a member of this socially and environmentally progressive group. By contributing 1% of total annual sales to grassroots environmental groups, members of 1% for the Planet affect real change. And members receive other benefits: The satisfaction of paving the way for more corporate responsibility in the business community and the recognition, support and patronage of conscientious consumers who value serious commitment to the environment.
