When we started Ridge Merino, we knew we wanted to make a difference. That's why, during this holiday season and beyond, Ridge is proud to offer gifts that give back.
Ridge is part of 1% for the Planet, a global movement of companies donating at least 1% of their annual net revenues to environmental organizations worldwide. That means every time you buy a Ridge product, part of the sale will go towards initiatives dedicated to making our planet a better place to live.
Founded in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, owner of Blue Ribbon Flies, 1% for the Planet has grown to include more than 1,200 member companies in 48 countries, all donating at least 1% of annual sales to sustainability initiatives. In just over 10 years 1% for the Planet companies have given more than $100 million back to Blue.
"Yvon Chouinard and Craig Mathews were also passionate environmentalists that happened to be running successful businesses. More important, they understood it was good business to protect the natural resources that kept them in business." - 1% for the Planet |
Yes, we're a small company, but we're proud to be part of an organization that's making a big impact. We hope you'll join us.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
