In 2002, Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia created 1% for the Planet and started a global movement. The idea was simple: because companies profit from the resources they take from the earth, they should protect those resources. They would do this by giving 1% of their sales to environmental organisations.
Spindle is committed to eliminating the negative environmental impact of our productions and is delighted to be joining 1% for the Planet to continue our mission of giving back to the planet and not taking away from it.
