At Manjeri Skincare, sustainability has always been at the heart of our mission. From sourcing high-quality ingredients to exploring eco-friendly packaging alternatives, we believe that beauty should never come at the cost of the environment. Today, we are proud to take our commitment a step further by announcing our official partnership with 1% for the Planet, a global organization dedicated to ensuring our planet and future generations thrive. This partnership reflects our deep-rooted pledge to sustainability, ensuring that every purchase made at Manjeri Skincare contributes to protecting and preserving our planet.
What is 1% for the Planet?
1% for the Planet is a global organization that exists to ensure our planet and future generations thrive. They act as an accountability partner for businesses that support environmental partners through annual membership. By providing partnership advising, impact storytelling, and third-party certification, they make environmental giving easy and effective.
Started in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, the visionary founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, the founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, 1% for the Planet has grown into a powerful movement. Since its inception, members have given millions to environmental partners. Today, their global network consists of thousands of businesses and environmental partners working toward a better future.
By partnering with 1% for the Planet, Manjeri Skincare is now part of a worldwide community of businesses taking real action to protect the Earth. Through our annual contributions, we aim to support initiatives that align with our sustainability goals and values.
Why We Chose to Partner with 1% for the Planet
As a brand built on the foundation of holistic skincare and natural beauty, we have always prioritized ethical and environmentally conscious business practices. Our decision to join 1% for the Planet is a natural progression in our sustainability journey. Here’s why this partnership is so important to us:
-
Commitment to Authentic Giving - Many brands claim to support sustainability, but few take measurable action. By joining 1% for the Planet, we ensure that our contributions directly fund environmental nonprofits that are thoroughly vetted and held accountable for their impact. This partnership guarantees that our giving is transparent, effective, and aligned with causes that genuinely benefit the planet.
-
Amplifying Our Impact - While we’ve always worked toward reducing our environmental footprint through responsible sourcing and packaging choices, financial contributions allow us to support broader efforts that extend beyond our immediate reach. Partnering with an organization like 1% for the Planet helps amplify our impact, ensuring that we are part of a larger movement advocating for systemic change.
-
Aligning with Consumer Values - Today’s consumers are more conscious than ever about where they spend their money. Studies show that people prefer to support brands that align with their values, particularly when it comes to sustainability and social responsibility. Through this partnership, we are reinforcing our commitment to ethical business practices, ensuring that every Manjeri Skincare purchase contributes to real environmental action.
-
A Step Toward Carbon Neutrality - Our long-term sustainability goals include reducing our carbon footprint and finding ways to make our operations more eco-friendly. By donating 1% of our annual sales, we are directly investing in initiatives that help combat climate change, protect ecosystems, and promote sustainability on a global scale.
-
Supporting Local Communities in Uganda - In addition to its global reach, 1% for the Planet works with several environmental partners that provide local support to communities in Uganda. These initiatives focus on reforestation, clean water access, and sustainable agriculture—causes that align with Manjeri Skincare’s vision of holistic wellness and responsible stewardship. Our partnership ensures that we are not only supporting environmental sustainability worldwide but also contributing to meaningful change in regions that are deeply connected to our brand’s heritage.
