1% for the Planet
1% for the Planet is an international organisation whose members donate at least 1% of their turnover each year to non-profit environmental organisations.
In 2019, Elements became the fifth Belgian company to make this commitment very consciously.
As one of the first distributors in Europe still.
To date (January 2024), we have already donated more than €220 000 to more than 20 environmental organisations
in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Benin. We focus our donations on 4 themes.
"It’s a cost of doing business on this planet, it’s not philantrophy – it's an absolute necessity for us living on this planet. It’s the opposite of doing nothing."
Yvon Chouinard, founder Patagonia and co-founder 1% for the Planet.
