All About Patagonia

Patagonia is all about proving that you can have both sustainability and high performance. Founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973 as a small company that made tools for climbers, it has grown into a global leader in environmental responsibility. Today, Patagonia is not just about outdoor adventures—they're deeply committed to the planet, designing branded merch that's as practical as it is sustainable.

They're really serious about their environmental activism, pioneering sustainable practices in both the fashion and outdoor industries. Their commitment is evident in everything they do—from using recycled materials to ensuring fair labor practices. They operate under a big-picture mission to “save our home planet.”

What sets Patagonia apart is their continuous push for eco-friendly innovations. Whether it’s traceable down, organic cotton, or recycled polyester, each product is a reflection of their dedication to sustainability. Under Yvon Chouinard's leadership, Patagonia constantly challenges the status quo—proving that ethical business practices can work hand-in-hand with financial success.

How Patagonia Gives Back

When it comes to giving back, Patagonia really steps up. They're not just about making great gear—they're passionate about protecting our planet too. They not only commit 1% of their total sales environmental groups through a cool initiative called Patagonia Action Works, Yvon Chouinard is actually one of the founders of 1% for the Planet. He wanted to leave generations to come with more of the earth’s resources and recognized that businesses typically take instead of give back.

Patagonia Action Works is super helpful—it connects people like us with organizations working on local environmental issues, making it easy to get involved. We here at Swagger have been 1% for the Planet members since day one and realize just how important this is. You can read more about our 1% for the Planet Impact here.

But there’s more. Have you heard about Patagonia’s Worn Wear program? It’s all about loving the stuff you own and keeping it in play for as long as possible. Instead of buying new, you can send your well-loved Patagonia gear back to them for repairs. This isn’t just great for your wallet—it’s a win for the planet too. By fixing and reusing, we cut down on waste and reduce the demand for new resources. It’s a simple idea, but it makes a huge difference.

And possibly the biggest impact of all? Yvon Chouinard announced in 2022 that he's put all the shares of his $3 billion company into a trust, directing future profits to environmental protection and climate change efforts. It’s a huge move, showing just how much one company can do to make a difference and maybe inspiring others to think about how they can help too.

Choosing Patagonia for your corporate branded swag says a lot about your brand. It shows you’re serious about quality and sustainability. Plus, every item of Patagonia gear is a step towards a better, more sustainable future. How cool is that?
