1% For The Planet
The mountains that we love to run in are beautiful and wild places and we want to keep them that way. We already take steps to minimise the effect our events have on the environment and improve their sustainability. However, it is inevitable that we will cause some impact and therefore we donate 1% of our total revenue to organisations at the forefront of protecting and preserving the mountains.
Since 2002, 1% For The Planet has inspired members of the business community to contribute 1% of sales to environmental groups around the world.
Ourea Events has been a member of 1% For The Planet since 2011, and we record to our annual donations in news updates:
The John Muir Trust, Fix the Fells and Woodland Trust have all received donations from Ourea Events as part of their 2018 annual 1% For The Planet contribution.
