Giving Back with Intention: Our Commitment to the Planet Through 1% for the Planet

A Creek Clean Up @ Wissahickon Trails

At Better. Promos, we believe that business should be a force for good. That’s why we’re proud members of 1% for the Planet—a global movement of companies committed to donating 1% of annual revenue to vetted environmental nonprofits. This isn’t just a line on our balance sheet—it’s an active part of how we operate, how we connect with our clients, and how we shape a more sustainable future.

Each purchase made with us contributes to meaningful environmental change, because we direct a portion of our revenue to nonprofit partners working across conservation, education, food justice, and climate resilience. In this post, we’re excited to share more about the incredible organizations we support and the impact they’re making.

Why It Matters

As a Certified B Corporation, giving back is built into the way we do business. But the 1% for the Planet network gives us a way to ensure that giving back is also strategic, collaborative, and accountable. When our clients choose us for their promotional products, they’re choosing more than just great merch—they’re joining a movement.

This program is just one more way we make merch that’s better for people and the planet. If you’re interested in aligning your company’s gifting, event, or uniforming strategy with your sustainability values, we’d love to work with you.

Together, we can do more than brand swag—we can build a better world.
