“Responsibly Grown, Beautifully Made”, is the slogan of 1% for the Planet business member, Conner Hats. The company is determined to give back to the planet by taking responsibility for their impact and providing customers with a product that lasts. They are committed to asking the hard questions and putting in the time to improve their business practices to lessen their impact and create lasting change.
The company has a completely solar powered warehouse, and has moved away from using single-use plastics completely in shipping and production. All materials are mindfully sourced, like cruelty-free wool, hemp, organic cotton, and recycled products where possible. Conner Hats is also committed to offsetting their carbon footprint and helping customers do the same. To do this, they maintain 2,000 native hoop pines on their family property, and offer customers a unique opportunity to give back:
For every hat sold, 25 trees are planted.
This commitment, as well as the company’s mission to give back to the planet while creating quality products, shows how business can be used as a force for good and create global change.
