Great article from Forbes on Patagonia's journey to becoming the most reputable brand in the United States. A true testament to their commitment to sustainability, ethics, and quality, their relentless pursuit of eco-friendly practices, corporate responsibility, and genuine care for the planet resonates with consumers.
Patagonia's leadership in environmental activism and their dedication to minimizing their footprint have set a powerful example for businesses worldwide. Their reputation is well-earned, showcasing that success can be achieved through conscious choices. Kudos to Patagonia for proving that doing good can lead to great success!
One significant change was a 2018 rewrite of their purpose, making it unequivocal: We’re in business to save our home planet. A second was Chouinard and his family putting their money where their mouth is. Rather than take the company public, they gifted 100% of their $3B fortune to the Patagonia Purpose Trust and Holdfast Collective to fund their deep commitment to the planet in perpetuity.
