OUR COMMITMENT: 1% FOR THE PLANET
At ION, as part of Boards & More, we firmly believe that our passion for watersports and cycling is inseparable from our respect for nature. That’s why we decided to become members of "1% for the Planet". This coalition of businesses recognized that it’s time to actively contribute to preserving our environment. We see the need to question our business practices and understand that economic success is directly linked to the state of our Earth.
Through our commitment to "1% for the Planet", we reaffirm not only our goal of acting more sustainably but also our commitment to the values that shape our "Save our Playgrounds" program and our "Code of Conduct".
By donating 1% of our online turn over to environmental and social projects, we send a strong message about our commitment and invite our community to join us on this journey.
ION X CORAL GARDENERS
Supporting the reforestation of corals
ION co-operates with Coral Gardeners who is a global organization with operations across French Polynesia, Fiji, Thailand and soon more locations - set out to save the world’s coral reefs through active restoration efforts, led by science, powered by innovation, and amplified with community awareness and engagement.
We promote a lifestyle that is in harmony with nature. It is not only the playground we love but also the space where our values are rooted. The mountains, beaches, and waters must be preserved—not just for us, but for future generations.
We are proud to invest a portion of our resources into initiatives that make a significant impact. It’s the many small actions that eventually lead to great changes: together we can ride the waves of change and make a positive impact on our natural surroundings and social issues. Every little donation makes a valuable difference.
»CORAL REEFS ARE DYING AT AN ALARMING RATE«
As much as 50% have been lost in the past 30 years (UNEP) and the decline could reach up to 90% by 2050 according to the most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Report.
WHY REEFS MATTER
Coral reefs are the rainforests of the sea
They are the most biodiverse ecosystem on earth and are home to more than 25% of all marine life. More than 500 million people worldwide directly rely on the reef for food, income, costal protection and more.
Corals are going extinct, with nearly half already lost wordwide.
We have until 2050 to save what remains of this vital eco system
Coral Gardeners is an NGO on a vision
To save the world's coral reefs through active restoration, community engagement, innovation and science.
Biodiverse and abundant reefs equal a healthy ocean and healthy planet.
Through our 1% for the Planet committment, ION adopted 250 corals in Mo'ora, French Polynesia
