Jones Snowboards is committed to being an outdoor industry leader in the fight against climate change. Building snowboards will always have an environmental footprint so they strive to minimize this footprint whenever possible by developing new eco-tech and supporting organizations that fight against climate change on the front lines. Jones takes these efforts seriously because they care about how their actions will affect the environment for future generations.

Partnerships

Jones Snowboards is a proud member of 1% For The Planet. 1% For The Planet is a growing association of businesses that have pledged to give 1% of their sales directly to sustainability-oriented non-profits. The mission of 1% For The Planet is to leverage this alliance of financially committed businesses to support a healthy planet.

 

Jones is one of very few 1% For The Planet member companies in the snowboard industry. They were honored to make this donation because it shows their steadfast belief that business can lead the fight for positive environmental change. Jones Snowboards donates 100% of our 1% For The Planet funds to the climate change action organization Protect Our Winters (POW).

Protect Our Winters (POW) is a climate change organization founded by Jeremy Jones in 2007. The mission of POW is to engage and mobilize the winter sports community to lead the fight against climate change. POW is the environmental center point of this global community and unites brands, athletes and communities towards a common goal of reducing climate change’s effects on our sports and local economies. The collective power of the winter sports community is massive and POW helps organize the effort to step up and take responsibility to save a season that fuels our passions and provides jobs and economic vitality to mountain regions.

 

Jones’ 1% For The Planet donation to POW is used to support their efforts to elevate the voice of the snow sports community and push for climate change legislation in Washington D.C. and promote climate change awareness campaigns such as their ’Hot Planet/Cool Athletes program that brings professional athletes into schools to talk about climate change. A portion of the donation to POW is also used to directly offset global warming-causing greenhouse gases by supporting rainforest reforestation efforts in Costa Rica through the non-profit organization Community Carbon Trees.
