Scratch Sustainability

Paws for the Planet
Climate change is one of the greatest threats facing our planet and we’ve always believed that to build a better world, businesses need to step up.

We’re really excited to be members of 1% For the Planet, a global network of businesses, nonprofits and individuals working together to take necessary, high-impact climate action.

1% for the Planet

We chose to work with 1% For The Planet because:

  • It’s completely transparent with third-party certification
  • At least 1% of all REVENUE (not profit) must be donated. That means no one can limit donations at the end of the year through bonuses and big salaries
  • They research the effectiveness of charities and only approve ones with minimal overheads and high impact
  • We get to choose which charities to donate to, so we can learn what you’re most passionate about and together make an impact

We’ve chosen to support the following charities on an ongoing basis to have a greater impact in helping them achieve their mission:

Seed Climate Change

Seed is Australia’s first Indigenous youth climate network. They are building a movement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people for climate justice with the Australian Youth Climate Coalition. In Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are at the forefront of climate change, and as young people it’s their generation with the most at stake. The Seed vision is for a just and sustainable future with strong cultures and communities, powered by renewable energy.

Rainforest Rescue Logo

Since 1999, Rainforest Rescue has been on a mission to “Protect Rainforests Forever” by purchasing high conservation value rainforests in Australia and abroad and working to preserve their biodiversity. Their projects re-establish rainforests through planting, maintenance and restoration programs. So far, they’ve rescued over 1.5 million square metres of rainforest, planted 320,000 trees and more!

OzHarvest Logo

Each year, food waste costs Australia $20 billion, however as many as five million people experience food insecurity. Founded in 2004, OzHarvest is Australia’s leading food rescue organisation, saving surplus food from ending up in landfill and redistributing it to people and who need it most. With a mission to help people and the planet, their goal is to advocate, inspire and influence others to halve food waste by 2030.

Sustainable Table logo

Over the last 100 years, agriculture has been a leading contributor to the climate crisis and industrial farming has wreaked havoc on our ecosystems and communities.

These guys are regenerating Aussie food and farming from the ground up. That means not only making these things more eco-friendly, but restoring original eco-systems and reimagining the way we plant and harvest too. They do it with a community-led approach guided by the needs of the land and the local people (especially First Nations), only funding the projects that make really sense. Sometimes that’s supporting the regenerative initiatives themselves. Sometimes
it’s more about encouraging others to get on board. Everything from educating farmers and industry on these practices or training and upskilling the local community to helping businesses and consumers to easily connect with more ethical suppliers.
