*Diverse Collection of Individuals Unite to Help Elevate Awareness of Sustainability Issues and Keep Earth in Business*

What do a beer-brewing CEO, a racecar driver, an artist, a media mogul, a pro-surfer, and a musician have in common? Several things, actually: They live under one sky, share one playground and are all committed to sustainability and giving back through the 1% for the Planet Ambassador Program.

Today, 1% for the Planet, a global network of businesses that invest at least 1% of their sales in organizations focused on sustainability, is pleased to introduce its new ambassadors. The 1% Ambassadors are a diverse group of business-leaders, athletes, artists and activists who are integrating the 1% for the Planet message into their daily lives to help broaden awareness for our global movement. Designed to give influential people a powerful platform to make a difference, the 1% for the Planet Ambassador Program seeks to elevate awareness of sustainability issues while building bridges between corporate and non-profit leaders to keep earth in business.

Our Ambassadors span all walks of life and many divergent professions, including CEOs, media, artists, musicians and even racecar drivers.* *They hold a common core-belief that businesses have the power and responsibility to create reliable prosperity for the planet by investing in sustainability projects with the non-profits partners in the 1% global network.

"We couldn't be more pleased to have an all-star team of 1% Ambassadors who understand that it's time for business to move beyond doing less harm by committing to making on-going investments in doing good for the planet," said Terry Kellogg 1% for the Planet CEO. ?"Our ambassadors are a diverse group of business-leaders, athletes, artists and activists who are integrating the 1% for the Planet message into their daily lives to broaden awareness for our global movement."
