Today, international travel and lifestyle brand TUMI announced its expanded partnership with 1% for the Planet, the global organization that connects dollars and doers to accelerate smart environmental giving. TUMI is globally committed to donate 1% of sales from the brand's 19 Degree Collection in polycarbonate to verified environmental nonprofits within the 1% for the Planet global network, marking the brand's first philanthropic partnership on a global scale.
"We're thrilled that TUMI is growing their commitment as a 1% for the Planet member with their 19 Degree Collection product line membership" said Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet. "Their global expansion will drive significantly more impact. TUMI recognizes that the time is now to act for our planet, and we are so grateful to be their partner in strategic philanthropy."
TUMI is committed to preserving the beauty of our planet by creating products that are built to last and incorporating recycled materials wherever possible. The 19 Degree Collection is crafted with recycled polycarbonate and post-consumer recycled PET fabrics, and has grown to become one of TUMI's most beloved collections.
"At TUMI, we care deeply about mindfully creating products and using materials that honor the planet," said Jill Krizelman, TUMI's Senior Vice President of Marketing and eCommerce. "1% for the Planet does an incredible job of helping to protect Earth's beautiful places, and we're so proud to continue our support of this organization globally in 2024."
