1% for the Planet: A Commitment to Sustainability

At Sauna House, our commitment to wellness extends beyond physical health. We believe in fostering mental, emotional, and environmental well-being for our communities, which is why we’ve been a proud member of 1% for the Planet since 2020. This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to offer a restorative, sustainable experience that not only nurtures the body but also cares for the planet we all share.

As a company, we’ve always understood the importance of balance, whether it’s in our approach to wellness or the way we interact with the world around us. 1% for the Planet provides an incredible platform for businesses like ours to make a tangible impact on the environment. By pledging to donate 1% of our annual sales across all locations, we contribute to environmental causes that resonate with our core values—sustainability, community engagement, and a commitment to the health of our planet.
