Yarrow Build ~ Proudly Supporting 1% for the Planet
In partnership with our ‘sister brand’, Sarah Yarrow Interiors, we are proudly supporting 1% for the Planet, as we believe our sustainable thinking should extend outside of our business and personal lives to positively impact the planet and those around us.
“At the heart of our businesses is a dedication to helping foster a brighter future for individuals, communities and our planet.”
WHAT IS 1% FOR THE PLANET?
1% for the Planet is a non-for-profit company that businesses can become members of and pledge 1% of their sales to an environmental cause. They work to create partnerships between these environmental nonprofits and businesses that will have a lasting positive impact on the environment.
1% for the Planet advises businesses on nonprofits that align best with their values and brand to make the biggest impact possible.
We’re dedicated to reducing not just our own but our clients' negative environmental impacts throughout the design, build and lifestyle stages of a home.
However, we wanted to take this a step further and truly dedicate our business to the efforts being made to create a healthier planet for us all.
By partnering with 1% for the Planet, we know that our 1% is being best utilised for causes that truly align with our vision and values.

Through our partnership with this organisation, we support some incredible nonprofits, including WIRES, Fitted for Work: The Conscious Closest and separately, Greenfleet.
WIRES are dedicated to rehabilitating and preserving Australian wildlife while encouraging the everyday Australian to do the same. We strongly believe that it’s our job as Australians to preserve the unique wildlife of our country and strive for a better future for them.
Fitted for Work helps disadvantaged Australian women find, keep and thrive at work. We want to be a part of the reason Australian women from all backgrounds feel empowered and supported to find work.
Greenfleet protects the climate by continuously restoring native forests and capturing carbon emissions. Though we focus on providing a sustainable service for our clients and sourcing sustainable materials, we know that despite our best efforts, the transportation of materials and machinery isn’t always eco-friendly.
Together with Greenfleet, we are reducing our carbon footprint and offsetting any negative impacts through the restoration of forests.
“We find it incredibly important to align with these causes as they work towards a better future for our planet and the people on it. Our partnership with 1% for the Planet certifies that these nonprofits are receiving our full support and benefit from 1% of our sales.
”
1% for the Planet isn’t limited to businesses; you can get involved as an individual too!
Whether you choose to donate 1% of your annual salary or prefer to donate your time to the cause, 1% for the Planet can advise on nonprofit partnerships that align with your core values and guide you to where you can make the biggest impact.
We strongly believe that we should all be reinvesting in our planet and working towards a better future for people and the planet alike.
