I’ve never made a big song and dance about this because for us it’s really about doing what feels right rather than a marketing thing — in fact I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it before — but Methodical donates 1% of revenue regardless of profit to 1% for the Planet to support grass roots environmental causes.

We believe that you can’t really claim to be customer focused unless you’re also doing your bit for the environment, since ultimately every customer is also a citizen of the planet we share.

Earlier this year — although it feels like forever ago now — I was fortunate enough to speak in Australia, which at the time was reeling from the wildfires that made headlines around the world. We also donated a meaningful chunk of the speaking fees from that event to recovery efforts through the same organization. As you can see the money is being put to good use!

A minor correction to the post above — I actually deserve 0% of the credit. As ever Ben Smith and Megan Butler are the reason anything actually gets done at Methodical, and they were responsible for seeing this through, so kudos to them.
