You’ve undoubtedly seen Patagonia apparel and outdoor gear. But do you know about the company’s commitment to the environment?
Patagonia models corporate responsibility when comes to environmentalism. Patagonia uses organic cotton, recycled plastic bottles for their fleece jackets, and old clothes for materials for their new garments.
“Our definition of quality includes a mandate for building products and working with processes that cause the least harm to the environment,” states the Patagonia website.
Patagonia goes above and beyond just making eco-friendly products. The corporate culture revolves around the environment.
Employees are able to take two months off with pay to assist an environmental group of their choice. To date, 750 employees have done so. Patagonia also co-founded The Conservation Alliance in 1989 to help the industry donate more money to environmental causes. Patagonia also gives 1% of their sales to charity. They have given more than $38 million to more than 1,000 organizations. These are just a few of the major efforts Patagonia makes in running a green corporation.
We believe eco-friendly shoppers would like to support a dedicated company like Patagonia. You can purchase their products at their website (http://www.patagonia.com) or at Patagonia retail stores throughout the country.
