Regenerative sound
As a global company, we are committed to fighting climate change. In 2023, Sonos launched a partnership
with 1% for the Planet. As proud
members of this global movement, we are donating 1% of all Certified Refurbished sales to high-impact
nonprofits focused on environmental preservation and restoration. We continually look for ways to
mitigate our environmental impact and do our part to protect the planet.
Since establishing our Regenerative Sound program in 2021, we have focused on supporting ecoacoustics
projects. Ecoacoustics is a cutting-edge field that uses sound to monitor and promote biodiversity
conservation. Our collaboration with 1% for the Planet enables us to deepen our investment in
organizations like Rainforest Connection, which unite
scientists, governments, and local communities to take action against climate change and the ongoing
biodiversity loss crisis that threatens thousands of species with extinction.
"By listening to and learning from nature, we can contribute to global conservation efforts and
safeguard critical species and forests from the worst impacts of climate change,” says Deji Olukotun,
Director of Sustainability & Strategic Initiatives at Sonos.
Sonos' contributions aided a Rainforest Connection project in the Chocó region of Ecuador. Known for
its rich biodiversity, the Chocó rainforest is home to thousands of wildlife and plant species. Sonos
traveled with Rainforest Connection and other key stakeholders to deploy acoustic sensors in the
Ecuadorian rainforest. We are thrilled to share the sounds of this remarkable region through a spatial
audio soundscape captured during our visit.
