Patagonia grew out of a small company that once made climbing gear. Gear that profoundly changed the way climbers put up new routes in Yosemite Valley in the 60's and 70's. Today, alpinism remains at the heart of their business that now makes clothes for paddlers, anglers, endurance athletes and others who aspire to move more freely through the natural world. The natural art of protection translates to every sport they pursue.
Since 1985, Patagonia has donated 10 percent of their annual profits (or 1 percent of sales, whichever is greater) to hundreds of grassroots environmental groups - $17 million in cash and another several million in gear. They also know that all their business activity - from lighting their stores to dyeing their clothes - creates pollution as its by-product. They work steadily to reduce those harms; to choose less harmful catalog stock or energy sources, to use recycled polyester where they can, and to use only organic rather than pesticide-intensive conventional cotton.
