Thrive Outdoors has joined 1% for the Planet as an environmental partner! We hope that this partnership will enable us to work with businesses to advance the aims of our mission and Scotland’s National Position Statement for Outdoor Play and Learning.

1% for the Planet is an accountability partner for businesses that are ready to reject business as usual and give back to environmental partners making a difference around the globe. Started in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, their members have given hundreds of millions of donations to environmental partners to date.

“The intent of 1% for 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, co-founder of 1% for the Planet

We are grateful to have joined the network through Ooni, who kindly nominated us.

“Joining 1% for the Planet is a powerful step forward for Thrive Outdoors. This partnership opens up new opportunities to collaborate with values-driven businesses who share our belief in the transformative power of outdoor play and learning. Together, we can help shape a future where every child in Scotland has access to nature-rich experiences that support their wellbeing and development.”
