Bei Mondaysengagieren wir uns für die Zukunft unseres Planeten. Von Anfang an waren wir entschlossen, ein Unternehmen aufzubauen, das das Richtige tut und einen positiven Beitrag zum Umweltschutz leistet.
Aus diesem Grund haben wir uns bei 1% for the Planet angemeldet. Seit dem ersten Tag, an dem Mondays' period Produkte zum Verkauf angeboten wurden, haben wir uns verpflichtet, 1 % von jedem Kauf an die Umwelt zu spenden.
But where exactly does your money go? 1% for the Planet provides businesses like Mondays with expertise in environmental giving, credibility consumers trust and the accountability to follow through. As part of being a for profit member of 1% for the Planet we are audited every year. 1% of our annual sales are directly donated to the network of 1% For the Planet vetted environmental non-profit partners. We have to declare our revenues and have proof of donations that match at least 1% of the annual revenues.
What is 1% for the Planet
1% for the Planet wurde 2002 von Yvon Chouinard, dem Gründer von Patagonia, und Craig Mathews, dem Gründer von Blue Ribbon Flies, mit der Absicht ins Leben gerufen, etwas für die Umwelt zu tun.
"Wir sind diejenigen, die all diese Probleme verursacht haben, also sind wir auch diejenigen, die sie lösen müssen" Yvon Chouinard, Mitbegründer, 1% für den Planeten.
1% for the Planet bringt Unternehmen (Dollar) und gemeinnützige Organisationen (Macher) zusammen, um "intelligentes ökologisches Spenden" zu beschleunigen.
Kate Williams, Geschäftsführerin von 1% for the Planet, erklärt, warum diese Partnerschaften von großer Bedeutung sind:
"Non-Profit-Organisationen sind in der Lage, dorthin zu gehen, wo Unternehmen nicht hinkommen, weil es manchmal keinen Markt gibt. Sie sind in der Lage, mutiger und aktiver zu sein, weil sie von ihrer Mission angetrieben werden.
To date 530m US $ have been donated to the non-profits by the community of 5'400 corporate members, that include companies such as Pukka, Woolrich, Patagonia and Mondays ofcourse!

In Kind Direct
In Kind Direct believe everyone deserves access to life’s essentials and that no usable product should go to waste.
This incredible UK charity is our newest 1% For the Planet partner and it focusses on distributing consumer products, donated by companies, to over 6000 charitable organisations in their network to ensure that everyone has access to the products they need to keep clean, safe and well. Founded in 1996 by HRH King Charles III, they work as a bridge between purpose-driven companies and the UK communities in need of products, supporting 365,000 people every week.
They offer a simple solution to product giving through a single point of contact and are the leading charity distributing new and unused consumer goods. They receive donated consumer products, which they then sort, store and distribute directly to charitable organisations in our network across the UK, helping their services to go further in supporting vulnerable people and communities.
Their recent campaign 'Hygiene Poverty - Not a Choice' has been incredibly successful in raising awareness and funds to support the millions of people suffering from Hygiene Poverty in the UK. Mondays are proud partners in this campaign and have donated products and financial support to this campaign to help 1000's of households.
