Why Who Gives A Crap
We make eco-friendly products and donate 50% of our profits to help build toilets for the billions of people who lack proper access. So far, we've contributed over $10 million AUD (roughly $7.4 million USD) to fund water and sanitation projects around the globe. Basically, we're really good at doing good.
With hubs in Australia, the Philippines, China, the US, UK and Europe, our ambitious team of 170+ work tirelessly to make the biggest possible impact for people and the planet. Over the next couple of years, we're working to increase our annual donation tenfold and we won't rest until everyone in the world has access to clean water and sanitation services.
As a certified B Corp™, we work to make a difference every day while maintaining the highest standards of social and environmental impact.
