As a brand, our mission is to combat plastic pollution and to help influence changes towards increased sustainability and ethical production methods and beyond that we recognise the impact that businesses have on the planets delicate ecosystems, we want to support the campaigners innovators and change makers working to protect our planet, this is why we’ve pledged to give back 1% of our sales to organisations doing just that.
Why 1% For the Planet? - We think that supporting environmental organisations should be a natural part of doing business. Globally, only 3% of of philanthropic giving goes to the environment & 1% for the Planet is on a mission to change this. By businesses pledging to give 1% of their annual sales they can make real change and pave the way for other corporations to do the same. They promote corporate responsibility and support the patronage of eco-conscious consumers who values businesses genuine commitment to the planet.

Trees for Cites, the only charity to work at a national & international scale to improve lives by planting trees in cities. With over 1 million trees planted to date working with 6000 volunteers, it's great to support their pioneering work.
Seawilding, based at Loch Craignish, Argyll, is the UK's first community-led native oyster and seagrass restoration project. Their aim is to restore lost biodiversity, sequester carbon, and to create green jobs. We are delighted to support them in this work.
We're also working with Northern Lights Aid in Kavala, Greece to give water bottles to people who pass through their facility.
If you have bottles you don't use please send them to us & we'll send them on :)
