1% FOR THE PLANET
Every order helps restore our only home. Coffee for Humans gives at least 1% of annual sales to vetted environmental partners through 1% for the Planet. Giving is reviewed and certified each year.
How it works
- Commit: Members donate 1% of annual sales to approved Environmental Partners.
- Give: At least half of the 1% must be monetary. Additional giving can be in-kind or volunteer time.
- Certify: 1% for the Planet certifies donations annually by reviewing member documentation.
Our pledge
- 1% of sales, not profits. Your purchase directly grows impact.
- People + Planet first. We prioritize cash grants and add in-kind and volunteer time when useful to partners.
- Verified annually. We publish partners and totals after certification each year.
