One Planet bases its founding philosophy on the spiritual teachings of the Bahá’í Faith. As our name suggests, we care deeply about other humans and the planet we all inhabit. We make the best effort to employ this philosophy while attempting to build successful and sustainable businesses. We’re not ashamed to make a profit - we just believe that winning at any cost is a selfish and archaic way to do it. We’re not out to crush the opposition; rather, we try to show the world a better and more compassionate way to do business.

Work performed in the spirit of service creates the highest and best expression of our professional and personal lives. Intention isn’t meaning well, it’s doing well. We believe companies have a responsibility to act, not make token gestures. We set a humble yet robust example of pairing good business with good intentions. We need to measure success also by how we spend our resources helping and serving others; by how many lives we touch in a positive way; and by how we better our communities and the world around us.

To bolster this culture of service, One Planet offers as many as nine paid service days to its staff globally. During these days, our employees’ sole aim is to aid and support the wider community through service and volunteerism.

In addition, One Planet’s commitment to universal philanthropy has forged a long-term relationship with the Tahirih Justice Center, the Washington D.C.- based non-profit organization that protects courageous immigrant women and girls who refuse to be victims of violence. By elevating their voices in communities, courts, and Congress, the Tahirih Justice Center helps create a world where all women and girls enjoy equality, live in safety and with dignity - find out more at www.tahirih.org
