Partner Spotlight: One Tree Planted — Bestami 1% Partner Spotlight · 3 min read · February 2026 Partner Spotlight:One Tree Planted Through our direct 1% for the Planet membership, 1% of every BESTAMI sale goes to verified environmental organisations. One Tree Planted is one of the partners we are proud to support. Who are One Tree Planted? One Tree Planted is a non-profit organisation with a single, powerful focus: reforestation. For every dollar donated, one tree is planted. It is a model of radical simplicity — and it works. Since their founding in 2014, they have planted tens of millions of trees across six continents, working with local partners to restore forests that have been lost to deforestation, wildfires, and land degradation. What makes One Tree Planted stand out is their transparency and their global reach. They publish project updates, planting data, and impact reports so that donors can see exactly where trees are being planted and how the forests are developing over time. 2014 Founded 6 Continents $1 = 1 tree planted Why reforestation matters for pets and people Forests are the lungs of the planet. They regulate temperature, clean the air, filter water, and provide habitat for the biodiversity that underpins every ecosystem on earth — including the ones that produce the food our pets eat. Deforestation is one of the leading drivers of climate change, biodiversity loss, and the destruction of natural habitats. Restoring forests is one of the most effective tools we have for reversing that damage — and One Tree Planted makes it possible for any purchase to contribute to that restoration. Every BESTAMI order helps plant trees. Not as a campaign — as a permanent part of how we operate. What One Tree Planted actually does Their work focuses on four key areas: Reforestation projects — planting trees in areas devastated by deforestation, wildfires, and land clearing across North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Biodiversity restoration — selecting native species that restore natural ecosystems rather than monoculture plantations. Community partnerships — working with local communities so that forests are protected and maintained long after planting. Impact reporting — publishing detailed project updates so donors and partners can verify exactly what their contribution achieved. Why we chose One Tree Planted One Tree Planted’s model aligns directly with what BESTAMI believes in: radical transparency, measurable impact, and long-term thinking. Their per-tree model makes the impact of every purchase tangible and verifiable. As a brand built around sustainability, choosing a reforestation partner felt essential. The materials we source — organic cotton, hemp, bamboo — depend on healthy ecosystems. Supporting the restoration of those ecosystems through One Tree Planted is a direct extension of our commitment to the planet.

Partner Spotlight: World Animal Protection — Bestami 1% Partner Spotlight · 3 min read · February 2026 Partner Spotlight:World Animal Protection Through our direct 1% for the Planet membership, 1% of every BESTAMI sale goes to verified environmental organisations. World Animal Protection is one of the partners we are proud to support. Who are World Animal Protection? World Animal Protection is one of the world’s leading animal welfare organisations, working across more than 50 countries to end animal cruelty and suffering on a global scale. From factory farming to wildlife trafficking, from disaster response to companion animal welfare, their work spans every environment where animals and humans interact — and where that interaction causes harm. Founded in 1981, World Animal Protection has spent over four decades building the evidence base, the policy frameworks, and the on-the-ground programmes needed to create lasting change for animals worldwide. They do not just campaign — they deliver measurable outcomes that can be independently verified. 1981 Founded 50+ Countries active 40+ Years of impact Why animal welfare matters to BESTAMI BESTAMI exists because pet owners care deeply about their animals. That care does not stop at the front door. The food our pets eat, the products we use to care for them, and the packaging those products come in all have consequences for animals beyond our households — in farms, in oceans, in forests, and in the wild. Supporting an organisation like World Animal Protection is a direct expression of the values that drive every product decision we make. Cruelty-free sourcing, organic materials, and responsible packaging are not enough on their own — contributing to the organisations working to change the systems that cause harm is the logical next step. Every BESTAMI purchase contributes to a world where animals — all animals — are treated with the respect they deserve. What World Animal Protection actually does Their work operates across four main areas: Farm animal welfare — working with governments, companies, and farmers to end the worst practices in industrial animal agriculture, including battery cages, gestation crates, and routine antibiotic use. Wildlife protection — combating the wildlife trade, ending the use of wild animals in entertainment, and protecting natural habitats from exploitation. Disaster response — providing emergency rescue, veterinary care, and shelter for animals caught in natural disasters and humanitarian crises worldwide. Companion animal welfare — improving the lives of dogs and cats through humane population management, vaccination programmes, and anti-cruelty education. Why we chose World Animal Protection When BESTAMI joined 1% for the Planet, we made a deliberate decision to support organisations whose work aligns directly with the values behind our brand. World Animal Protection met every criterion we set: measurable impact, financial transparency, global reach, and a genuine commitment to lasting systemic change rather than short-term campaigns. As a pet care brand, the connection is direct. Our customers love their animals. World Animal Protection works every day to extend that protection to animals everywhere — not just the ones that share our homes.

This contribution is independently verified every year — we cannot reduce it, redirect it, or claim it without confirmation. This is not a seasonal pledge or a marketing campaign.

Non-Profit Spotlight: Ocean Blue Project

Non-Profit Spotlight: Ocean Blue Project — Bestami 1% Partner Spotlight · 3 min read · February 2026 Non-Profit Spotlight:Ocean Blue Project Through our direct 1% for the Planet membership, 1% of every BESTAMI sale goes to verified environmental organisations. Ocean Blue Project is one of the partners we are proud to support. Who are Ocean Blue Project? Ocean Blue Project is a non-profit organisation dedicated to one clear mission: removing plastic pollution from the world’s coastlines and ocean environments. Founded in 2014, they have grown into one of the most active and transparent coastal clean-up organisations on the planet — running beach clean-up events, microplastic research programmes, and ocean education initiatives across multiple countries. What sets Ocean Blue Project apart is not just the scale of their work, but their accountability. They publish clean-up data — weights of plastic removed, volunteer hours, locations, and ongoing monitoring results — so that donors, partners, and the public can see exactly what is being done with every pound contributed. 2014 Founded 50+ Countries active 100% Data published Why plastic pollution matters for pet owners The connection between ocean plastic pollution and pets is more direct than most people realise. Microplastics — the tiny fragments that result when plastic breaks down in the environment — have now been found in fish, in drinking water, in the air, and in the bodies of domestic animals including dogs and cats. The fish-based proteins in many pet foods come from ocean ecosystems. The water your dog drinks passes through the same water table that is increasingly contaminated by plastic runoff. A cleaner ocean is not just good for seabirds and fish — it is better for every living creature in the food chain. Every BESTAMI purchase contributes directly to cleaning up the coastlines our dogs love to run on. What Ocean Blue Project actually does Their work operates across three main programmes: Beach clean-up events — organised with local volunteers and community groups. Every piece of plastic collected is weighed, categorised, and recorded. Microplastic monitoring — a citizen science programme that trains volunteers to collect and analyse microplastic samples from coastlines. Ocean education — school and community programmes that teach practical action alongside environmental science. Why we chose Ocean Blue Project When BESTAMI joined 1% for the Planet, we chose our partner organisations based on a straightforward set of criteria: measurable impact, financial transparency, and operational integrity. Ocean Blue Project met all three. There is also a direct alignment with what BESTAMI sells. Our compostable dog poop bags exist specifically to reduce the single-use plastic burden. Directing funds to an organisation that physically removes plastic from the ocean felt like the right extension of that work. What your purchase supports Through BESTAMI’s direct membership with 1% for the Planet, 1% of every sale we make is directed to verified environmental non-profits including Ocean Blue Project. This is not a campaign or a seasonal pledge. It is built permanently into how BESTAMI operates. In This Article Who are Ocean Blue Project?
