We’re excited to welcome EFFi Foods® to our global network.”

We welcomed the opportunity to work with 1% For The Planet, an organization that shares our values and gives our Planet a Voice. It connects businesses, NGO’s, and people that strive to minimize the negative impact on the environment. Through 1% FTP, we are excited to extend our reach and make a difference in the areas like climate change, wildlife, food and land.” -Carina Ayden, Founder / Executive Director.
Members of 1% for the Planet contribute one percent of annual sales directly to any of the approved non-profit environmental organizations in the network. Non-profits are approved based on referrals, track record and sustainability focus. Over 3,000 non-profits worldwide are currently approved.
“As we near our 10th anniversary we’re celebrating that our members have contributed nearly $100 million of critically needed funds,” comments Kellogg. “The understanding that brands can succeed financially by investing in the environment is clearly apparent, and consumer demand is driving a lot of this success. The average annual revenue growth of the companies in the 1% for the Planet network from 2008 to 2011 was over 50%, even though the overall economy has been struggling. There’s a paradigm shift happening here and we’re thrilled that so many innovative businesses are sling-shotting the movement in to high gear.”
