Our Commitment

Through our Westford Mill® and BagBase® brands, we have pledged 1% of annual sales to the preservation and restoration of the natural environment through our membership to 1% for the Planet. Below you can learn more about some of the charities and projects that our membership helps to support.

What is 1% for the Planet®?

1% for the Planet® is a partnership of companies that understand just how important it is that we protect the world we live in. Its members are concerned with the social and environmental impacts of industry, and know they have a part to play themselves. The 1% for the Planet® initiative operates as a non-profit organisation. It encourages businesses to help safeguard the environment by donating 1% of their turnover to grassroots environmental groups making a difference in their local communities. It’s not just about money though, we also make sure our staff are given the time and opportunity to actively volunteer in environmental and community projects local to them.
