1% for the Planet

1% for the Planet is an international organization whose members donate at least 1% of their turnover each year to non-profit environmental organizations.

In 2019, Elements became the fifth Belgian company to make this commitment very consciously.

As one of the first distributors in Europe, yes. To date (January 2024) we have donated more than 220,000 euros

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 of Patagonia and co-founder of 1% for the Planet.
