PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
Patagonia was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, the company's roots are in clothing for rock and alpine climbing, but they now produce a diverse mix of apparel targeted towards skiers, snowboarders, surfers and climbers. Patagonia are a world leader in creating ethical, sustainable clothing.
NetPlus: To help reduce plastic pollution, Patagonia are finding new ways to turn previously discarded forms of plastic, like fishing nets, into clothes that can be worn for generations. Their partner Bureo collects and transforms these nets from local fishers off the coast of South America - which helps protect wildlife, provide fishing communities with extra income, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels used to make plastic.
Responsible Down Standard: All virgin down that Patagonia uses is traced from farm to shelf, so that the birds who supply it are protected. The Responsible Down Standard describes and (independently) certifies animal-welfare practices in down and feather production from the farm to the final product.
Fair Trade: Patagonia now use more than 20 Fair Trade factories that specialise in the production of outdoor clothing, paying a premium for every Patagonia item that is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory. They actively encourage other brands that do business in those factories to join them in the Fair Trade movement, ensuring living wages within the supply chain.
