Planet Cents, Inc., (a DE PBC,) (a seed-stage startup,) will be the global B2B2C/B2C sustainable products and services marketplace, utilizing sustainable purchasing to reverse climate change while giving organizations a way to attract and retain customers, employees, investors, partners, and suppliers. (Video intro.: https://youtu.be/YpiOTWK706A) (www.PlanetCents.us) Our sellers will include sustainable product and service providers, including existing sustainable marketplaces.

Organizational clients use the offerings in our marketplace as benefits, gifts, incentives, recognition, and rewards, as well as engagement, team building, and training tools. They may offer these to customers, employees, partners, and/or suppliers . . . and each of these may share it similarly. This broad reach ensures the scalability of our model, which is attractive to investors. This rapid ability to scale allows us to cause a significant retreat from our global climate crisis.
