For the past four years, HotPoc has proudly stood at the intersection of innovation and advocacy. Our journey is defined by two powerful collaborations: our long-standing partnership with 1% for the Planet and our dedicated support for POW Canada (Protect Our Winters Canada). These relationships aren't just corporate checkboxes; they represent a deep-seated commitment to the natural environments that fuel our adventures and inspire our reusable heating solutions.
A Shared Vision for a Sustainable Future
HotPoc was founded to redefine warmth by creating reliable, eco-friendly products that minimize waste. However, we realized that creating sustainable products was only half the battle. To truly preserve the planet, we needed to support the movements fighting for its future. This is why we joined 1% for the Planet and teamed up with POW Canada.
By pledging 1% of our annual sales through 1% for the Planet, we ensure that every purchase of a reusable hand warmer or body warmer contributes to tangible environmental restoration. Meanwhile, our work with POW Canada focuses on systemic change—uniting the outdoor community to advocate for policy shifts that protect our winters from the climate crisis.
Why These Partnerships Matter to HotPoc
Our commitment to 1% for the Planet and POW Canada is woven into the fabric of who we are. It reflects our belief that businesses have a profound responsibility to protect the playgrounds we use.
Innovation and Environmentalism
HotPoc's innovation lies in providing instant, reusable heat that eliminates the waste of disposable alternatives. Our products are designed for longevity, lasting through hundreds of cycles. This focus on reusability directly supports the mission of POW Canada by reducing the carbon footprint of outdoor gear and encouraging a "buy less, use longer" mentality.
Looking Ahead: Our Promise to the Planet
As we reflect on these past four years, we are motivated by the progress made but aware of the work still to do. We are committed to deepening our involvement with both POW Canada and 1% for the Planet by:
- Supporting organizations and groups that actively work to protect our planet;
- Continuing to innovate in reusable HotPoc technology to reduce our operational footprint;
- Exploring new collaborative projects with other outdoor brands.
By choosing HotPoc, you aren't just staying warm; you are joining a movement. Whether you’re using our reusable hand warmers on a sub-zero ski day or keeping your phone alive with the Hot Poc Sleeper, you are helping us protect the winters we love. Together, we can ensure a warmer world for people and a cooler world for the planet.
