1% for the Planet and Other Brands that Giveback

Here at Merchology, we're passionate about the planet and encouraging sustainable and eco-friendly choices. That's why we joined the mission of 1% for the Planet in 2017. As members of 1% for the Planet, we donate 1% of our sales from custom Patagonia and custom Zusa purchases each year to local and national non-profit organizations that are working to make the planet a better place. We also offer a variety of other brands that are also members of 1% for the Planet and other giveback programs. We believe it is our responsibility to offer you sustainable products and brands that you can customize with your company logo to create company uniforms and promotional products for corporate events.
