Climate Conversations with 1% for the Planet

February 2023

Welcome to Hattrick’s Net Zero ‘talking heads’ series - Climate Conversations.

If you’re a business that’s striving to do better, knowing where to start can stall good intentions.

We’ve created somewhere for you to take inspiration from others on the same journey. So sit back, take solace and take stock. The power lies in listening, learning & collaborating.

In this conversation we sat down with Madelyn Postman, 1% for the Planet. Madelyn serves on the UK & Ireland Steering Committee of 1% For the Planet. This non-profit organisation, founded by Yvon Chouinard of Patagonia, encourages businesses to commit to donating 1% of annual sales or salary to environmental cause.
