Now that The lekker Company is growing, we would like to give something back. That is why we founded The lekker Foundation in January 2021!
Before, we semi-annually donated 1% of our revenue to a charity or non-profit organization that benefits the planet, helps animals and/or people sustainably. This way when we grow, our impact grows with us.
As of July 1st 2022, we are proud to support Trees for All , and we will be doing so for at least 3 more years!
Our first semi-annual donation has ben done, and at least 814(!) trees will be planted. Half of them on Dutch ground and half in Borneo.
In Borneo there is a need for more forest to give back the orangutans their natural habitat.
We're also super excited because at the end of January 2023, our colleagues will be planting trees themselves in the Netherlands in the region Twente. We'll be posting pictures as soon as we have them!
The lekker foundation
"Planting trees together for a green and healthy world."
-Trees For All
Trees for All plants trees for life
'Trees are essential to all life on earth. They give us oxygen, clean air, food, protection, coolness and water. Forests are important for biodiversity and provide a habitat for countless plants and animals. Not only that, they also play a major role in tackling climate change. That is why it's important that we protect and restore our existing forests and plant new ones.' -Trees For All
At lekker we want to change the norm for personal care. All products we make are as sustainable, lekker and animal-friendly as possible. Since all our packaging is made from cardboard, it's a logical step to help the planet by planting trees - lots and lots of trees!
How does it work?
For every €10 donated, Trees for All and their partners plant two trees. This is always in a project in the Netherlands and abroad (ie. Mexico, Costa Rica) in order to make the greatest possible impact.
How do you donate?
Whenever you buy lekker products until December 31st, 2026, you automatically support their cause. If, like us, you strongly believe in Trees for All's work and want to donate a larger contribution, you can do so directly via their website.
The non-profits we worked with before
From January to June 2022, we supported 100WEEKS. ''Temporary cash for a permanent change.'' With the donated money we were able to help 4 families out of extreme poverty. Want to read more? Before 100WEEKS we also worked with Plastic Free UK and Reef Restoration Foundation.
