We're thrilled to announce that Isla Mar has joined 1% for the Planet as an Environmental Partner! This incredible program connects businesses and non-profits so that both groups can benefit from a shared vision of supporting environmental causes and we are ecstatic to be a part of this movement.
1% for the Planet is a global network founded in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies. As an accountability partner, 1% for the Planet encourages businesses and organizations to donate one percent of their annual sales or income to environmental non-profits. By doing so, they ensure that companies contribute back to the planet that sustains us. Additionally, 1% for the Planet ensures that their network of environmental organizations actively works towards a wide range of solutions to issues like climate justice, gender equality, conservation policy, environmental education, and more!
What does this mean for us?
We can leverage new partnerships with businesses that share our values. Their contributions to Isla Mar's mission can take the form of financial support, connections with like-minded individuals to help us strategize our growth, and collaborations to help spread awareness of our projects and programs, among other opportunities.
"The intent of 1% of the Planet is to help fund these diverse environmental organizations so that collectively they can be a more powerful source in solving the world's problems" - Yvon Chouinard
This partnership empowers us to amplify our efforts in advancing holistic island science education and conservation, making an impactful difference in our community. "Teamwork makes the dream work", and we're excited for what the future will bring.
Please stay tuned to learn more about the initiatives that come to life through this new partnership!
