At Purpose Built Financial Services, we are dedicated to not only securing your financial future but also ensuring the future of our planet. We are excited to announce our recent partnership with 1% for the Planet, a global organization committed to environmental sustainability. This partnership is a natural extension of our values and personal experiences, and it reflects our commitment to making a positive impact on the world around us.
Why Environmental Concerns Matter to Us
Environmental concerns have always been a significant part of my life and now play a crucial role in the mission of Purpose Built Financial Services. My personal experiences, such as spending countless days camping and exploring the beauty of our country's national parks with my family, have deeply influenced my values and commitment to environmental preservation. These experiences instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature and the importance of preserving it.
Today, I continue this tradition with my own family, visiting over 20 national parks and often camping within them. We followed in my parents' tradition and took my daughters on a 7,000+ mile road trip in our VW bus that covered 15 national parks (plus Mount Rushmore and Lake Powell).
Additionally, I am an avid backpacker on the Appalachian Trail. I also mountain bike weekly in local state forests and try to be outside as much as possible.
These personal experiences have shaped my belief that we must all play a part in protecting the environment for future generations so that one day, our children can torture their children with long road trips to amazing places.
Our commitment to environmental concerns is not just a personal passion; it's a core value that we integrate into our business practices and community engagement efforts. This integration ensures that every aspect of our operations is aligned with our mission of environmental stewardship.
Partnering with 1% for the Planet
Our partnership with 1% for the Planet underscores our dedication to environmental stewardship. As part of this commitment, we pledge to donate 1% of our annual sales to support environmental organizations that are making a real difference. This partnership will help us ensure that our contributions are both meaningful and effective, allowing us to support initiatives that align with our values and have a lasting impact.
Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet, beautifully captures the essence of this collaboration: "Environmental organizations play a unique and critical role in solving the many challenges facing our planet. Our driving goal is to increase support for these organizations by engaging businesses as funders and partners in the work. We believe deeply that in coming together to accelerate smart environmental giving, we can create positive solutions to the complex environmental problems of our time."
