This Christmas season, we’re spotlighting gifts that give back – from 1% for the Planet member brands making every purchase count.
Every product from these businesses gives twice: once to your loved ones, and once back to the planet. That’s because each certified member donates 1% of annual revenue to vetted environmental partners, driving real, measurable impact – from restoring native habitats to tackling food waste and supporting frontline climate communities.
With 255 Australian businesses now part of this global movement, buying from them is one of the simplest ways to make your festive gifting meaningful. And with 66% of Gen Z deeply concerned about climate change, conscious gifting isn’t a passing trend – it’s becoming an expectation. In fact, 65% of young Australians say they’re more likely to buy from brands displaying the 1% for the planet logo, according to new data from The Harris Poll.
Australia and New Zealand have become a thriving hub for the 1% for the Planet community, with 281 certified members across the region, including well-known names like Koala, 4 Pines Brewing Co., Pablo & Rusty’s, and Lyka Pet Food. Together, these businesses are part of a billion-dollar movement transforming how companies give back.
A Gift Guide for the Planet:
This festive season, 1% for the Planet’s Gift Guide showcases just how easy it is to shop sustainably – across coffee and tea, homewares, outdoor gear, fashion, and even treats for pets. Each gift represents more than a thoughtful gesture; it’s a contribution toward a healthier planet.
So whether you’re buying a reusable bottle from KeepCup or a care package of ethically sourced body care with Leif, your gift carries a lasting impact – for both people and planet.
