Aluminati Skateboards Announces Membership with 1% for the Planet
CORONA, Calif., April 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Aluminati Skateboards joined 1% for the Planet, pledging to donate 1% of annual sales to support nonprofit organizations focused on the environment.
"Our member companies have donated more than $150 million to our environmental nonprofit partners to date. Currently, only 3% of total philanthropy goes to the environment and, only 3% of that comes from businesses. The planet needs bigger support than this, and our growing network of member businesses is doing its valuable part to increase giving and support on the ground outcomes. Our members lead with purpose and commitment, characteristics that consumers support. We're excited to welcome Aluminati to our global network," says Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet.
In 2013, while skating to work at his family's aluminum factory, Scott Rapport asked himself why brands were selling non-biodegradable cruisers that harm the environment. He realized he had the opportunity to do something better for the planet and honor his family's aluminum legacy and Aluminati Skateboards was born. "Protecting the environment and helping others has always been important to me. Aluminati is proud to partner with 1% for the Planet to help contribute to a variety of nonprofit partners both locally and nationally."
Members of 1% for the Planet contribute one percent of annual sales directly to any of the approved nonprofit environmental organizations in the network. Nonprofits are approved based on referrals, track record and environmental focus. Thousands of nonprofits worldwide are currently approved.
