Environmental Partners
We’re serious about meaningful commitment to the environment, and to the communities we depend on to make us shine. We understand that what is good for them is also good for us. Before our first product was developed, we sought out organizations that would champion the causes we’re most passionate about, and uphold the values of our brand. We’re quite happy with the results of our search, and have partnered with the following respected organizations…
1% for the Planet
1% for the Planet is an internationally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and has become the gold standard for a global movement—driving critical philanthropic support to address the most urgent environmental issues of our time. Founded in part to certify reputable giving and help prevent greenwashing, 1% for the Planet certification is given to businesses that meet a high bar of commitment—agreeing to donate 1% of total annual sales, not just profit, to environmental causes.
As a 1% for the Planet Business Member, Olive+Comet is proud to contribute a percentage of total annual sales directly to social and environmental causes. We believe that business is not only capable of redefining social and environmental outcomes—but has a moral responsibility to address them.

One Tree Planted
One Tree Planted, a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is dedicated to global reforestation in four primary geographic regions: North America, Latin America, Africa and Asia/Australia. As an official reforestation partner of the United States Forest Service (USFS), One Tree Planted helps to both restore habitat and create resilient forest ecosystems from coast to coast, within our own National Parks.
Olive+Comet is honored to stand with One Tree Planted as a reforestation partner, joining their efforts to revitalize damaged forests in the United States and abroad—to protect habitat for biodiversity, renew compromised ecosystems and support local communities. Backed by One Tree Planted, Olive+Comet proudly funds the planting of a tree for every item we donate or sell.

Ecologi
UK-based Ecologi, a certified B-corp, invests in projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, plants and protects forests internationally, and supports carbon reduction projects that are certified at the highest levels (Gold Standard and equivalent).
For Olive+Comet, keeping our environmental footprint small was top of mind—but we also desired to employ sustainability solutions that could be leveraged to account for special circumstances. Ecologi made this easy for us. Our business subscription allows Olive+Comet to operate climate positive on the whole (through a combination of tree planting/protection and carbon offset strategies), and provides us with the option to offset even more when needed, as dictated by our business activity.

Our Suppliers
Our supply partners and manufacturers not only share our unique standards, but approach the business world just a little bit differently. We choose our relationships carefully, and with intent. It’s no accident that our supply chains meet the highest standards for quality, ethics and environmental sustainability—with certifications and levels of transparency to match. Olive+Comet is proud to be working with the following organizations:
Emalco
Emalco, located in Siedlce, Poland, crafts our line of custom Kambi mugs. Following 100-year old traditions, Emalco creates enamelware of the highest quality, made by the skilled hands of people—not machines.
