Since our founding in 2013, Mauch Chunk Coffee Co. has been committed to roasting sustainable, ethically sourced coffees. From smallholder farms and cooperatives to our small-batch roastery nestled in Pennsylvania’s beautiful Pocono Mountains, our focus on quality has always walked hand-in-hand with our responsibility to protect natural resources and empower our global community.

We joined 1% for the Planet to take our mission a step further. As part of this partnership, every purchase you make directly benefits essential nonprofit organizations dedicated to protecting our planet and the life with which we share it.

Founded in 2002, 1% for the Planet is a global movement inspiring businesses and individuals to support vital environmental causes. As members, we commit a minimum of 1% of our annual sales (not profit) to carefully vetted environmental organizations—ensuring that every purchase you make supports real, tangible change.

Wildlands Network

Charity Navigator: 4/4

Our contributions to Wildlands Network help advance their ambitious mission: to reconnect, restore, and rewild North America so that all life can thrive for generations to come.

Wildlands Network focuses on creating and protecting “wildways”—vast corridors spanning forests, grasslands, and mountains—that serve as vital pathways for wildlife to find food, water, shelter, and mates. Fragmentation from roads, urban development, and other structures can isolate animal populations, cause dangerous crossings, and jeopardize entire species’ survival.

By supporting science-based research and advocating for innovative policy, Wildlands Network is actively re-establishing these natural corridors, allowing wildlife to roam freely, maintain healthy genetic diversity, and adapt to a changing environment.

What is 1% for the Planet?

1% for the Planet is a global network of businesses, nonprofit partners, and individual advocates working together toward a healthier, more sustainable world. Founded in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews of Blue Ribbon Flies, the organization's underlying principle is simple yet powerful: businesses can—and should—play a meaningful role in protecting our environment.

Members commit directly and transparently to donating at least 1% of annual sales toward environmental causes. By adhering to this accountability, 1% for the Planet inspires collaboration, responsibility, and measurable progress toward meaningful environmental change.

Since its founding, the network has grown to include thousands of members globally. Together, they've directed hundreds of millions of dollars to crucial environmental stewardship efforts—supporting vital areas such as climate advocacy, habitat conservation, wildlife protection, clean water initiatives, regenerative agriculture, sustainable food systems, and community environmental education.

Why it Matters Now More Than Ever

Today, our world faces unprecedented environmental challenges, from climate change and habitat loss to water quality and biodiversity decline. These complex, interconnected issues demand collective action and genuine commitment, especially from businesses who hold a powerful platform to influence change.

When you choose products from businesses partnering with 1% for the Planet, you actively support environmental organizations working tirelessly for a sustainable future. Every purchase becomes an opportunity to participate directly in preserving ecosystems, promoting healthier communities, and supporting a cleaner, healthier world for generations to come.

At Mauch Chunk Coffee Co., our partnership is a reflection of our genuine commitment not only to exceptional coffee, but also to the places, people, and ecosystems that nourish our craft. By joining this global movement through 1% for the Planet, we engage directly with global and local environmental initiatives, driving meaningful and measurable impact together—in every roast, every cup, and every community we serve.
