PEOPLE AND PLANET FIRST

Sarah Holdeman, COO at the Impact Collective, is smiling.

“People and Planet First Verification is simple but not easy – there are only five criteria but one is that an organization has to exist to solve a social or environmental problem. This signals an organization that is committed to impact at its core and I am proud to have Chocolat-e as a part of this movement!”

COO, THE IMPACT COLLECTIVE

The current system is broken and is destroying lives and our planet. Together, we are creating a better world. Yes!

No greenwashing and socialwashing.

People and Planet First is a verification and a global collective that’s accelerating the transition to an economy that puts people and the planet first. We provide a verification system, access to resources and collective advocacy. Together, through a network of trusted partners, we are transforming business and building an economy for everyone to thrive within the means of our living planet.
People and Planet First is a network of networks stewarded by the Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF), a non-profit social enterprise that has been supporting the social enterprise movement since 2008.

BECAUSE IT MATTERS TO US.

We commit to donating 1% of annual sales to environmental organizations, because we believe it will help slowing down the destruction of our planet we started since day one. Don’t you think it’s about time to think about what will be left to the future generations?
