Since its official launch in April 2021, Beyond Green has established an esteemed reputation among travelers and the wider travel community for its holistic approach to sustainable tourism. Travelers are becoming increasingly savvy when it comes to sustainability, demanding more transparency from the companies they support, thus by partnering with 1% for the Planet, guests can further maximize the positive impact of their Beyond Green bookings.

‘Following our launch, we have sought to connect Beyond Green with likeminded brands for considered partnerships that align with our overall purpose. By working with 1% for the Planet, we are excited to further fulfill our commitment to supporting environmental causes,’ says Lindsey Ueberroth, CEO of Preferred Travel Group.

"Currently, only 3% of total philanthropy goes to the environment and, only 5% of that comes from businesses. The planet needs bigger support than this, and our growing network of business members are doing vital work to increase giving and support on-the-ground action. We're excited to welcome Beyond Green to our global movement,' says Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet.

Driven by an unwavering belief that to travel with purpose is to travel well, Beyond Green represents sustainability leadership in action and impact, with a mission and purpose of transforming the global travel and tourism industry, where sustainability is the rule and not the exception. Centered on three core values – Nature, Culture, and Community – Beyond Green’s global members go beyond being eco-conscious to also embrace fundamental principles such as fair wages, gender equality, and the safeguarding and celebrating of cultural heritage.

By contributing 1% of their annual sales, thousands of 1% for the Planet’s members have raised millions in funding to support environmental partners around the globe, with over $530 million having been certified to date.
