the shirt dandy’s Pledge: Joining 1% for the Planet in the Pursuit of Environmental Harmony

23. November 2023

At The Shirt Dandy, our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the design studio and into the very fabric of our values. Today, we’re excited to share our dedication to environmental stewardship through our partnership with 1% for the Planet. In this blog post, we delve into why we joined this impactful initiative and what it means for our mission to create fashion with a conscience.

What is 1% for the Planet?

Before we explore our journey, let’s understand the essence of 1% for the Planet. Founded in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, owner of Blue Ribbon Flies, this global movement brings together businesses and individuals committed to giving back to the environment. Members pledge to donate at least 1% of their annual sales to approved environmental nonprofits.

Why We Joined 1% for the Planet

A Commitment to Accountability

Joining 1% for the Planet aligns seamlessly with our values of transparency and accountability. By earmarking a percentage of our sales for environmental causes, we are not only making a tangible impact but also holding ourselves accountable for the environmental footprint of our operations.

Fostering Environmental Solutions

The environmental challenges we face require collective action. By contributing to 1% for the Planet, we actively participate in a global network of businesses and individuals working towards innovative and impactful environmental solutions. It’s a commitment to being part of the solution rather than just acknowledging the problem.

Supporting Local and Global Initiatives

Our partnership with 1% for the Planet allows us to support a diverse range of environmental initiatives both locally and globally. From initiatives focused on sustainable agriculture to those working towards ocean conservation, our contributions aim to make a positive and meaningful impact on the planet.

Upholding Our Ethical Responsibility

As custodians of this planet, we believe it is our ethical responsibility to contribute to its well-being. Our decision to join 1% for the Planet is a proactive step in fulfilling this responsibility, ensuring that our business practices contribute to a healthier and more sustainable world.
