Landscape Forms Joins 1% for the Planet

1% for the Planet represents a global network of businesses, individuals and nonprofit organizations tackling our planet's most pressing environmental issues.

Believe it or not, only three percent of today's total philanthropic contributions go toward the environment. We believe our planet needs greater support. As part of our continuing efforts toward sustainability, we're proud to announce that Landscape Forms has joined 1% for the Planet -- a global alliance of businesses working together to promote corporate responsibility and serious commitment to the environment.

El objetivo de 1% for the Planet es aumentar de manera significativa la cantidad total de dólares que, a nivel mundial, se destinan a organizaciones sin fines de lucro centradas en el medio ambiente. Su rol es conectar a estas organizaciones con empresas como Landscape Forms, que luego donan el uno por ciento de las ventas brutas de ciertos productos a una de ellas.

"Landscape Forms tiene una larga historia en la participación en nuestra comunidad y en el apoyo a las organizaciones en las que creemos", dice Marjorie Simmons, CEO de la compañía. "And when you think of an organization you want to be a part of, 1% for the Planet is the ideal candidate-they come from a good place, connecting companies like ours with nonprofits to create a more sustainable world."

Environmental stewardship is part and parcel of what we do at Landscape Forms.

Established in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, 1% for the Planet has facilitated nearly $300 million in donations to approved nonprofit organizations to date. Their global network consists of thousands of businesses, individuals and nonprofits across nearly 100 countries all working together to support and protect the environment.

Michael Blum, President of Landscape Forms' Studio 431 and leader of the company's Sustainability Committee adds, "Environmental stewardship is a large component of our sustainability program, but it doesn't end there. Para nosotros, la sostenibilidad es una ambición que trasciende en toda nuestra compañía: cómo tratamos a nuestras personas, cómo tratamos a nuestros clientes, cómo tratamos a nuestro planeta y cómo tomamos decisiones en nuestra compañía son los hilos del gran tejido de la sostenibilidad".

Nuestra asociación con 1% for the Planet es la iniciativa más reciente que surge del Comité de Sostenibilidad de Landscape Forms. The team is comprised of emerging leaders from all areas of the company who share a passion for taking equitable action on environmental issues. El grupo se encarga de darle una nueva mirada a los productos, los procesos, los programas y las instalaciones a través de un lente de sostenibilidad, con cada miembro trabajando en equipos más pequeños dentro de sus áreas para implementar los logros del departamento, a la vez que manejan los objetivos a nivel compañía.

For 2021, Landscape Forms is pledging its donations to the Landscape Architecture Foundation, a nonprofit working to increase the impact of landscape architects in creating a more sustainable future. LAF occupies a unique perspective at the intersection of the built and natural worlds-the domain of the landscape architect. This unique point of view provides valuable insight and actionable research across all four pillars of sustainability: Human, Social, Economic and Environmental.

"At its heart, LAF is an environmental nonprofit. And we're the only one who invests in designers of the natural environment who can develop a more holistic approach to sustainability, conservation and environmental equity," describes Barbara Deutsch, CEO of the Landscape Architecture Foundation. "We're thankful to be partnering with Landscape Forms to strengthen our power and impact on the environment. I'm confident that together, along with 1% For the Planet, our voices and efforts will enact great change."

Blum adds, "It's exciting to join the LAF and other partners in the 1% for the Planet network, all of whom value a strong commitment to the environment. At the end of the day, we're all about the outdoors-we play outdoors, we enrich the outdoors, and we want to ensure the longevity of these vital experiences for future generations."
