OUR MISSION

"We’re in business to save our home planet." This bold mission statement tells you that Patagonia is not like most companies. This is a company that gives away 1% of its sales to environmental programs, is a certified B-Corp, and one that hasn't been shy from calling out politicians who deny climate change or stifle voting rights.
