Is your company listed on 1% for The Planet? You can now support our work!

As of September 2026, Ocean Purpose Project officially joins forces with 1% for the Planet and thousands of businesses and environmental organizations worldwide taking collective action so our planet and future generations can thrive. Singapore can be a powerful gateway for international companies wanting to create credible, visible environmental impact in Asia.

If your company has employees, operations, customers, suppliers or sustainability ambitions in Singapore or Southeast Asia, come and build something with us. Having met 1% for the Planet’s high vetting standard, we are now eligible to receive contributions from 1% for the Planet certified businesses - companies that are held accountable for directing at least 1% of annual revenue to vetted and approved environmental organizations. To ensure that every dollar funds verifiable impact and aligns with evolving global compliance frameworks, all impact partners must clear 1% for the Planet's rigorous Certification & Vetting Standard. This unified, three-pillar vetting process evaluates partners across Legal Accountability, Organizational Credibility and Solutions Alignment.

Click on Ocean Purpose Project in the 1% For the Planet portal and browse our many game changing ocean conservation projects tackling all forms of ocean pollution from ocean plastics, oil spills, microplastics, sewage, chemical spills, algae blooms, bacteria blooms and coral bleaching and select which programme you prefer! For OPP, becoming part of the 1% for the Planet network is about creating a bridge between global corporate environmental commitments and measurable action on the shores of Singapore and Southeast Asia.

We started grassroots. We still work grassroots.

But the problems facing our oceans are global — and solving them will require companies, communities, scientists and changemakers working together across borders.

We thank all our corporate clients for this milestone! 1% For the Planet enables you to fund us, to continue our ocean conservation work.
