Upstream assesses business sponsor opportunities on a case by case basis. We see business as a key part of the solution to plastic pollution. We are also aware of greenwashing, where the intent of the corporation is to only appear green. In general, if you are doing the right thing and making progress toward real and funded goals toward becoming a greener business, we welcome a conversation. We all have a role to play and whether you directly impact plastic pollution and single-use through your work and/or indirectly through your financial support, we want to connect with you.

Here are the questions we ask ourselves before partnering with a business:

• Does the gift compromise the mission and/or vision of Upstream?

• Is there compatibility between the intent of the donor and Upstream’s use of the gift?

• Will acceptance of the gift damage the reputation of Upstream?

No, but it is a fantastic program and you should check it out if you have not already. If you own a business, consider joining 1% for the Planet and naming Upstream as your beneficiary. Everyone wins! For more information please visit www.onepercentfortheplanet.org.

If you are already a 1% for the Planet Business Member, you can meet your 1% goals by becoming an Upstream Business Sponsor.
