Giving Back

Giving back is a core pillar of 42 Birds and our commitment wouldn't be possible without you.

42 Birds is a proud member of 1% for the Planet, a global movement dedicated to supporting environmental solutions. As part of this commitment, we donate at least 1% of our annual sales directly to certified environmental organizations working to protect and preserve our planet.

Please find our Supported Environmental Partners listed below!

National Park Foundation

Chartered by Congress in 1967, the National Park Foundation raises private funds to help protect more than 84 million acres of national park land through critical conservation and preservation efforts and connect all Americans with their incomparable natural landscapes, vibrant culture, and rich history.

World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)

WWF’s work has evolved from saving species and landscapes to addressing the larger global threats and forces that impact them. Recognizing that the problems facing our planet are increasingly more complex and urgent, we have refined the way in which we work around an ambitious new strategy. Our new strategy puts people at the center and organizes our work around six key areas: forests, marine, freshwater, wildlife, food and climate. By linking these six areas in an integrated approach, we can better leverage our unique assets and direct all our resources to protecting vulnerable places, species and communities worldwide.

Cork Forest Conservation Alliance

Founded in 2008, The Cork Forest Conservation Alliance has led the cork recycling movement in the US and Canada, helping to collect and recycle some of the 13 billion natural corks that are produced each year. Equally important is its work to educate the public about the Mediterranean cork forests, the world’s most sustainable type of forestry.

National Audubon Society

The National Audubon Society protects birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow, throughout the Americas using science, advocacy, education, and on-the-ground conservation.

The Gabby Wild Foundation

The Gabby Wild Foundation (GWF) exists to protect the world’s most vulnerable wild animals through veterinary medicine, conservation methodologies, and educational campaigns.

World Central Kitchen

Founded in 2010 by Chef José Andrés, World Central Kitchen (WCK) is first to the frontlines providing fresh meals in response to crises. Applying our model of quick action, leveraging local resources, and adapting in real time, WCK has served more than 400 million nourishing meals around the world.

What can I do to directly help support cork forests?

The best way to support cork forests is not just by choosing 42 Birds products, but by opting for cork wherever possible. Contrary to a common misconception, there is no cork shortage—in fact, the opposite is true. Cork is one of the few materials with a positive impact on the environment. The more cork that's harvested and used, the more carbon the trees absorb. The real threat to cork forests comes when demand drops and they’re replaced with cheaper, non-natural alternatives.
