A One-Percent Company
Piper & Heath dedicates 1% of our gross sales to social commitment. In this effort, we join the ranks of some the most successful and forward-thinking businesses on the globe. We consider this 1% an investment in sustainability rather than charity. These funds are used in various ways, but they are always focused on environmental and humanitarian work being done in developing countries. A large portion of the 1% is used in fundraising efforts where we leverage our spending to magnify the dollar value of the funds we send to Africa.
Since becoming a 1% company, the combined total of funds raised and 1% contribution is just over $1,100,000 as of September 2024. (These figures have been independently verified.)
