At Ennis Fabrics, we believe that great design doesn’t just shape spaces—it can also help shape a better world. That’s why our partnership with 1% for the Planet remains an important part of who we are and how we operate. Through this commitment, we pledge to donate 1% of our SolarShade product sales to environmental organizations making a meaningful impact across the globe.
This commitment feels especially meaningful as we celebrate Earth Day—a global reminder of the importance of protecting our planet and preserving its resources for future generations. First observed in 1970, Earth Day has grown into a worldwide movement, with more than a billion people participating each year to support environmental protection and awareness. For us at Ennis Fabrics, it’s an opportunity to reflect on our impact and reaffirm our responsibility as a business to support a healthier, more sustainable world.
As Earth Day reminds us, meaningful change requires participation. As shared by EarthDay.org, “Progress does not happen in silence. It happens when people show up.” This message resonates deeply with our approach—not only recognizing environmental challenges but actively contributing to solutions through our partnerships and actions.
Each year, we carefully select 1% for the Planet partners whose missions align with our values of sustainability, conservation, and responsible stewardship. We’re proud to introduce the three organizations we’re supporting this year: Saving the Blue, Endangered Species International, and Arbio Peru.
Saving the Blue is dedicated to protecting marine ecosystems and preserving biodiversity beneath the surface. Their work focuses on safeguarding endangered marine species and promoting sustainable ocean practices. As a company that understands the importance of long-term resource management, we’re inspired by their commitment to keeping our oceans healthy for generations to come.
Endangered Species International works tirelessly to protect threatened species and their habitats around the world. Through conservation programs, research, and community engagement, they aim to ensure that vulnerable wildlife populations can recover and thrive. Supporting their efforts reflects our belief that biodiversity is essential to a balanced and resilient planet.
Arbio Peru is focused on conserving the Amazon rainforest—one of the most vital ecosystems on Earth. By protecting old-growth forests and promoting sustainable land use, Arbio Peru plays a critical role in combating climate change and preserving biodiversity. Their hands-on approach and dedication to conservation resonate deeply with our environmental goals.
Earth Day serves as a powerful reminder that collective action matters. Our partnership with 1% for the Planet is one way we turn that belief into tangible impact—by supporting organizations on the front lines of environmental protection every day.
As we move forward, Ennis Fabrics remains dedicated to integrating sustainability into every aspect of our business—from the products we offer to the partnerships we build. Together with our customers, suppliers, and environmental partners, we’re working toward a future where both our industry and our planet can thrive.
This Earth Day, we invite our community to join us in reflecting on the role we all play in protecting the environment. Whether through small, everyday choices or larger commitments, every action contributes to a more sustainable future.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
