Champions of people, our planet and animals
To double down on bringing our vision for the future around faster we dedicate 1% of revenue to efforts aimed at actively improving our planet and the lives of people and animals.
To qualify any potential recipient will need to meet two thresholds: "impact" and "connection"
Connection: The proposal must have a sufficiently strong connection to the pillars of our investment approach (being people, planet and animals).
Impact: Supporting the proposal will contribute to measurable improvement either directly (in the form of immediate action), or indirectly (in the form of slower long-term systemic change).
Our three pillars and themes
A proposal must make a measurable impact on one or more of the categories we strive to help improve: people, our planet and animals.
Within each pillar, we focus on a theme annually that we believe positively contributes towards our vision for the future.
