Micro has joined the organisation 1% for the Planet, committing to donate 1 percent of the annual sales of its ECO scooter product line to support nonprofit organizations focused on the environment. The proceeds donated from Micro will support Parley’s Educational Programs, with the goal of providing worldwide access to ocean education, tools and experiences, inspiring marine conservation and empowering a network of impactful leaders: Ocean Guardians.
"We recognize that the challenges facing our world are too great for any one person or organization to solve alone. To make meaningful positive change, we all need to work together. Companies like us have an even greater obligation to help. Our partnership with 1% for the Planet is another step in the right direction," says Wim Ouboter, founder of Micro.
