ECO Product Line: Innovating for a cleaner planet
1% for the Planet
One percent of our sales from our ECO
product line we donate to environmental
charities in collaboration with
1% for the Planet.
We recognize that the challenges
facing our world are too great for
any one person or organization to
solve alone. To make meaningful
positive change, we all need to work
together. Companies like us have an
even greater obligation to help. Our
partnership with 1% for the Planet
is another step in the right direction.
“Currently, only 3 percent of total
philanthropy goes to the environment
and, only 5 percent of that
comes from businesses. The planet
needs bigger supporting than this,
and our growing network of business
members is doing its valuable part to
increase giving and supporting onthe-ground
outcomes. We’re excited
to be a part of 1% for the Planet’s
global movement,” says Wim Ouboter,
founder and CEO of Micro.

1% for the Planet.
By contributing one percent of our
annual sales, we and thousands of
other 1% for the Planet members,
like the famous outdoors brand Patagonia,
have raised over $450 million
to support approved environmental
nonprofits around the globe. Nonprofits
are approved based on referrals,
track record and environmental focus.

Our ECO product line sales contribute
to Parley’s education programs
through our partnership with 1% for
the Planet.
Parley’s education initiatives aim
to provide access to ocean education,
tools, and experiences, promote
ocean conservation, and create
a network of influential leaders
known as Ocean Guardians. Their
comprehensive approach includes
Ocean Schools, AIR Stations, Ocean
Uprise Summits, Ocean Cleanups,
and events such as World Oceans
Week, Run for the Oceans, and Ocean-
2Ocean.
Parley’s education program has
already reached over half a million
participants in 45 countries, but
there is still much work to be done.
Each country faces unique challenges
when it comes to addressing
the plastics crisis. Parley tackles
this issue by working with a diverse
group of stakeholders including
local non-governmental organizations,
government and state agencies,
private companies, waste management
and logistics partners, marine
experts, and educational institutions.
By supporting Parley’s education programs,
we are taking an active role in
promoting environmental education
and helping to create a more sustainable
future.
