1% Pledge, a renewed commitment
1% Pledge was founded in 2014 with the initial goal of convincing 500 companies to devote 1% of their capital, profits, time or product to philanthropy. Today more than 8,500 companies worldwide have accepted this challenge.The founders of this organization are convinced that most companies have the capacity and availability to join this global movement whenever a number of circumstances are in place: allowing for flexible collaboration, freedom in terms of choice and encouraging the commitment to take place in the early stages of the company's growth.
