The Footprint Chronicles® examine Patagonia’s life and habits as a company. The idea is to give our practices some air and thought – and to use what we learn to change practices played out on an industrial scale, with concomitant effects. We’ve been in business long enough to know that when we can reduce or eliminate a harm, other businesses will be eager to follow suit.
For our tenth season, we’ve completely revamped the Chronicles. New features will include
- A world map showing every factory that makes Patagonia clothing and gear
- Profiles of the social and environmental practices of key suppliers and fabric mills, with accompanying essays, slide shows and videos
- Profiles of key independent partners who vet social and environmental practices throughout our supply chain
