Planet (2)

Planet has been doing things the right way for over 30 years. This innovative company creates household products that avoid harmful chemicals and are great for the planet, but work very effectively.

The History of Planet.

Planet was founded in 1989 by Stefan Jacob. Stefan was working as a commercial fisherman on an island in British Columbia, Canada when he started becoming increasingly aware of the pollution in the water and soil around him. Not one to sit idly by, Stefan joined with some friends to start a company that would make products with as small an ecological impact as possible. The company was named “Planet” by one of the co-founder’s small children.

Today, Planet is one of the top manufacturers of green household products in America and Canada. Since its humble beginning, it has expanded both the number of products it sells and its overall distribution. Despite the growth, it remains a completely independent company.

Planet Company Mission

Planet is dedicated to the idea of corporate responsibility. The environmental crisis demands an all-hands-on-deck approach. It does its part both through the products it creates and its philanthropic work. Every cleaning product that Planet sells is made without harmful chemicals and is packaged with recyclable materials. Its products are phosphate-free, 100% biodegradable, and completely free of animal ingredients. The company works closely with SCS Global Services to certify all of its environmental claims and ensure transparency. Planet also gives portions of its profits to non-profit organizations that it believes are making a big difference for the planet, like Earthjustice and the River Network. Ultimately, Planet wants to be part of the solution.
