Banana Life Joins Pledge 1%: Giving Back Is Part of Our Ethos

Through Pledge 1%, we create impact beyond the games; supporting purpose-driven teams to connect.

At Banana Life, we’ve always believed strong teams build better futures—not just inside the workplace, but out in the world. 

That’s why we’re proud to officially join Pledge 1%, a global movement encouraging businesses to commit a portion of their profits, product, time, or equity to causes that matter.

As we’ve grown, we’ve followed our instincts and paid attention to what we’ve seen on the ground. One thing stands out: team building has the potential to do so much more than bring teams closer; it can create genuine, lasting impact in the community.

We’ve always said connection drives better business outcomes. That’s still true. 

But it also drives something deeper—a sense of shared purpose, of doing good together. 

In 2024 alone, we donated 217 bikes, skateboards and surfboards, and ran events for over 20 not-for-profit organisations.

Joining Pledge 1% formalises something that’s long been part of our culture: using our resources, time, and creativity to contribute to a more connected, compassionate world.

Here’s what that looks like at Banana Life:

  • We offer discounted access for non-profit clients; keeping our experiences accessible, without compromising quality
  • We commit at least 1% of employee time to causes aligned with our values, especially those focused on youth, wellbeing, and inclusion
  • We continue to design and deliver purpose-driven experiences that create real-world impact; activities like Bike Build, Skateworks, and more

We’re also exploring how to embed giving back at key customer touchpoints; finding small but meaningful ways to make every part of our journey more purposeful.

This is all part of our journey.  

And we look forward to sharing it with you. 

– Andy and the Banana Life team
