Patagonia are widely regarded as one of the most eco-conscious brands in the world with initiatives like 1% For The Planet and Wornwear.

The aim is to offer accountability, prevent greenwashing and certify reputable giving.
It all started when two businessmen met and bonded over their shared love for the outdoors. Realising their responsibility to protect our planet, they decided to give 1% of their sales back to the environment—whether or not they were profitable.
In 2002, Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, created 1% for the Planet and started a global movement.
