Building a global movement to transform for a fairer economy.
Around the world, there is a growing movement of enterprises that prioritise people and planet over private profit. They include social enterprises, cooperatives, fair trade enterprises, social businesses and others.
People and Planet First is a banner that unites this global movement. We provide a verification system, access to resources and collective advocacy. Together, through a network of trusted partners, we are transforming business and building an economy for everyone to thrive within the means of our living planet.
Join us in this exciting journey of putting People and Planet at the forefront. Let’s make a positive impact and create a brighter future for all. People and Planet First already spans 77 countries. But this is only the beginning.
