SeaVees, the casual footwear brand with its roots in California, announced its partnership with 1% for the Planet. Through this membership, SeaVees pledges one percent of its net sales to the preservation and restoration of the planet through the organization’s network of domestic and international grassroots environmental groups.

“Born in 1964 in California, a state celebrated for its natural beauty, we are endlessly inspired by our surroundings,” said Steven Tiller, CEO and chief designer of SeaVees. “We are proud to join 1% For The Planet to make a positive environmental impact on our Golden State and beyond.”

1% for the Planet was established in 2002 to build, support and activate an alliance of businesses financially committed to creating a healthy planet. Since then, 1% for the Planet has grown into a global movement of more than 1200 member companies in 48 countries, all donating at least 1% of annual sales to sustainability initiatives.

By contributing one percent of its net sales to grassroots environmental groups, SeaVees hopes to affect real change, while attracting conscientious consumers and showing its commitment to corporate responsibility.

Born in 1964 and rediscovered in 2010, SeaVees is based in Santa Barbara, CA.
