How We Work with Factories, Farms and Mills
Promoting fair labor practices and safe working conditions throughout Patagonia’s supply chain
Corporate Responsibility (CR) is a broad-based movement in business that encourages companies to take responsibility for the impact of their activities on customers, employees, communities and the environment. Companies committed to corporate responsibility also agree to abide by international labor and human rights standards.
Here’s what we’re doing to ensure that Patagonia products are produced under safe, fair, legal and humane working conditions throughout the supply chain – and some background on how we got to where we are today.
Working With Factories
Patagonia engages in a range of due diligence activities to promote fair labor practices and ensure good working conditions in our factories.
Working With Mills
Patagonia travels the globe building relationships with suppliers that make high-quality materials while reducing their environmental and social impact.
History
Patagonia grew out of a small company that made tools for climbers. The way in which we promote fair labor practices and safe working conditions in our supply chain has evolved as well.
