At Modern Mountain, we make baking mixes and ingredients we're proud of - and we've built giving back into how the business runs. The clearest example is our membership in 1% for the Planet.
What is 1% for the Planet?
It's a global network of businesses that commit to donating 1% of annual sales to environmental causes. Membership is a real, audited commitment - not a logo you can simply adopt - which is what makes it meaningful.
How does 1% for the Planet work?
The pledge is tied to sales, not profits - which matters. A business gives 1% of its top-line revenue to approved environmental nonprofits every year, regardless of how the year shook out on the bottom line, and that giving is certified by 1% for the Planet. Because it's a percentage of sales, it scales directly with the business: the more we sell, the more goes to the cause. That's a stronger, more honest commitment than a vague "portion of proceeds."
Where does our 1% go?
We direct our giving to the 1% for the Planet Planet Impact Fund, which tackles a range of environmental challenges - from climate change to biodiversity loss - with a focus on collaboration and measurable impact.
Why we made the pledge
This isn't only about numbers. It's about running a business in line with our values. Every batch, every pouch, is part of a larger commitment - one of the three pillars, alongside People and Pantry, of how we Bake a Difference. Learn more at 1% for the Planet.
