BIRCH INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PLEDGES 1% OF ALL SALES TO ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES
Birch Investment Management joined 1% for the Planet, pledging to donate 1% of annual sales to support nonprofit organizations focused on the environment.
At Birch Investment Management, we believe in the power of long-term thinking. As we invest our clients’ wealth and build our company, our focus is on being good stewards for our clients’ investments and our community. One of the greatest challenges to our world and investments in the future is climate change. That is why we are proud to partner with 1% for the Planet to do our small part to address these needs.
“Currently, only 3% of total philanthropy goes to the environment and, only 5% of that comes from businesses. The planet needs bigger support than this, and our growing network of business members is doing its valuable part to increase giving and support on-the-ground outcomes. We’re excited to welcome Birch Investment Management to our global movement,” says Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet.
By contributing 1% of their annual sales, thousands of 1% for the Planet members have raised over $265 million to support approved environmental nonprofits around the globe. Nonprofits are approved based on referrals, track record and environmental focus. Thousands of nonprofits worldwide are currently approved.
