It all started when two businessmen met and bonded over their shared love for the outdoors. Realizing their responsibility to protect our planet, they decided to give 1% of their sales back to the environment—whether or not they were profitable. In 2002, Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, created 1% for the Planet and started a global movement. “The intent of 1% for the Planet is to help fund these diverse environmental organizations so that collectively they can be a more powerful source in solving the world’s problems.” — YVON CHOUINARD IN HIS BOOK “LET MY PEOPLE GO SURFING” 1 2 3 4 5 Origin EVER WONDER HOW 1% FOR THE PLANET BEGAN?

Brand guidelines Imagery 13 Our look Everyone in our network has their own visual style but we prefer to feature images and video that show a diversity of people and places in which we live, work and play. Bold and colorful photography is preferred over black and white and documentary style over posed or studio setups. For member products, we like to show them in use in a natural setting or a representative lifestyle image. (See Sunski example at bottom left.) Please keep these styles and standards in mind when collaborating with us on storytelling or other marketing efforts.

Brand guidelines Icon assets Two sets of icons have been created in conjunction with the 1% for the Planet globe motif: globe icons that represent our six issue areas and general smiley globe icons. Each set serves to activate its accompanying image in different ways. These icons can accompany graphics as well as photography. In the instances of photography, icons may function as a smiley face replacement for someone’s face (sparingly) or (more common) may be placed on the photo to accompany it. We recommend providing a caption or explanatory text which dives deeper into the photo contents or specific issue area(s).

Brand guidelines Campaigns 16 Tagging assets Whether using the 1% for the Planet thought bubbles, mini flags or hang tags, these assets provide ample opportunity to showcase your 1% commitment. Mini flags are intended to identify food, beverage and restaurant members within the 1% network. These flags are placed on photos of experiential products such as food or beverage items, shot within eye level or a reasonable range above, but not from a bird’s-eye view. Thought bubbles and clouds are placed above the subject of a photo, cementing them as an active thinker or participant in our network. They serve as a medium for member stories—their journey and reason for being a 1% member can be highlighted in captions or supporting content and the graphic functions as a visual aid. Hang tags serve as a reminder that every purchase makes a difference and when you support 1% for the Planet members, you’re purchasing for the planet.
