At Akers Digital, we believe that success isn’t just about driving results for our clients—it’s also about giving back to the outdoor spaces that inspire us and the communities that depend on them. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been recertified as a 1% for the Planet corporate member, reaffirming our commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability.
Why 1% for the Planet?
Founded on a simple but powerful idea, 1% for the Planet connects businesses and individuals with nonprofit organizations dedicated to protecting the environment. Members pledge to donate at least 1% of annual revenue to support environmental causes. For us, this isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a reflection of who we are. As a digital marketing agency serving outdoor brands, we believe in using our resources to help protect the places where our clients and their customers play.
Our Impact: Supporting Environmental Partners
Since joining 1% for the Planet, Akers Digital has donated nearly $15,000 in cash and in-kind contributions to a variety of environmental nonprofits, including:
- The Climate Action Fund – Addressing the urgent need for climate solutions
- Bike Utah – Advocating for better cycling infrastructure and accessibility
- Outdoor Industry Association – Supporting policies that protect public lands and outdoor recreation
- NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) – Educating the next generation of outdoor leaders
- And several other impactful organizations
We’re honored to support these groups as they work to create a more sustainable and inclusive outdoor industry.
How This Aligns with Our Mission & Values
Giving back isn’t just something we do—it’s woven into our mission and values:
- Build Community – We support brands that make the outdoor industry stronger, just as we support nonprofits that protect the places we love.
- Practice Continual Improvement – Sustainability is an ongoing commitment, and we strive to increase our impact every year.
- Be Transparent – Just as we’re honest with our clients about marketing results, we want to be open about how we give back.
- Be Humble – We’re always learning, listening, and seeking new ways to make a difference.
- Experience Joy – The outdoors brings us joy, and we want to ensure future generations have the same opportunity.
