Thank you for making this world a better place
Thank you for your contribution!
Creating a giving back strategy that’s fun, vetted and transparent was part of our marketing strategy from day one.
We wanted to give back in a way that made sense for us as a social enterprise and you as our client.
In 2021, we gave back 3.02% of our total net revenue in our client’s behalf to 1% for the Planet.
Grateful for B1G1 and 1% for the Planet
Sian, our friend from Ethical Hour, gifted us a day of watermelon-eating fun for chickens at Edgar’s Mission in Australia for Christmas 2018 through her membership with B1G1. What a pleasant surprise!
Not only did we jump for joy because we love it when chickens — or any animal for that matter — don’t have to die to feed humans, we found our main charity partner for 2019!
In January 2020, we made a switch and became a member of 1% for the Planet so that we can fully concentrate on helping to protect animals and our environment.
Giving back was never so much fun
Sustainable Development Goals
The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were created by the United Nations Member States in 2015 to help improve the global challenges we face today by 2030.
Every capable individual and company share the responsibility of helping to reach these goals with various actions and commitments.
While each goal is unique and interconnects with others, it is challenging to try to reach all 17.
So, we’ve decided to do what we advise our clients: to niche down and choose a few goals we’re most passionate about and can make the most positive impact with our marketing expertise.
The ones that are aligned with our business and our soul.
Since protecting nature and saving species is at the heart of our mission, we are passionately committed to reaching these three goals:
- #13 Climate action
- #14: Life below water
- #15: Life on land
Why these three?
Because if we don’t get these right, we — as a human animal species — will become extinct and then nothing else matters.
Nothing. Else. Matters.
Who are we kidding, that’s not the main reason. We adore nature and all life on Earth.
Our commitment to helping to reach three Sustainable Development Goals by 2030
Because we’re all about marketing strategy, we set goals and take the appropriate steps to reach them. After that, we regularly measure our activities to make sure we’re staying on the right path.
By working with social entrepreneurs who are also committed to reaching the SDGs, we are not alone.
Power to the people who create change together!
Because … science
We’re already seeing the effects of climate change. Even in areas where there are usually no problems. Since we don’t believe our governments will make ecocide illegal, we have to take this one in our own hands. Power to the people.

Respect all animals
