Our 1% Promise
At SANS MATIN we feel it is important to give back. That is why we donate 1% of all sales to charity. We partner with charities we feel resonate with us and align with our key values and brand ethos.
The Amazon Conservation Team (ACT)
Hand-in-hand with indigenous and other local people, ACT apply the power of innovation and time-tested traditional practices to protect the forests and watersheds of South America. Over the last 25 years, ACT has expanded and created over 1.9 million acres of indigenous reserves. In that same time they have partnered with 78 local communities to work together to preserve and replant the Amazon Rainforest. An incredible charity that is doing so much to protect our natural world.

Learn MoreChildren Change Colombia (CCC)
CCC are the largest UK charity working exclusively in Colombia, working with children and their families to challenge poverty, inequality, discrimination and violence. We chose CCC after having spoken to many of our shoemakers in Medellin about the issues facing Colombia, particularly relating to the young population. Being a family business, this particularily resonated with us and our key values.

For 8 weeks, from mid-March to mid-May 2021, we donated 5% of all online sales to the UN's appeal. The primary goal of the appeal is to ensure that refugees are included in the national COVID-19 surveillance, preparedness and response activities. UNHCR’s preparedness measures protect refugees, displaced people and their host communities before, during and after the global health emergency.
