VANCOUVER. March 12, 2025 /PRPatagoniaworks.coml – Patagonia, the official outdoor and equipment retailer, will be hosting a special event on April 10th. The event will take place on Patagonia’s location on West 4th Avenue in Vancouver, BC, from 10 am to 12 pm. Guest speakers include Clare Gallagher, Trail Running Ambassador for Patagonia alongside Ramón Navarro, Surfing Ambassador for Patagonia, who will deliver speeches reflecting on the current climate chaos in the world and Patagonia’s role and future vision towards a more sustainable future for the planet. This event invites environmentalists, workers, non-profit organizations and the public to join the morning event featuring films, discussions, and activities such as yoga and fun runs while making voices heard on environmental sustainability and Patagonia’s future as a major contributor to the global fashion industry.
Patagonia’s Focus on Sustainability
At Patagonia, we strive to produce the highest quality adventure and outdoor clothing while maintaining sustainability in our products to protect our environment and planet from the ongoing effects of climate change. We aim to create responsible and environmentally safe programs to foster a better planet and ensure our products are produced under safe, controlled, and humane conditions, safeguarding the rights and health of our workers. As a sustainable clothing company, we aim to create socially responsible programs and ensure our customers know where and how our products are made. Patagonia is more than just a billion-dollar global business selling clothing; we are also socially responsible and set a model that many other businesses in the fashion industry are following. With the launch of the “1% for The Planet” event, Patagonia seeks to strengthen its position in the fashion industry while reducing our carbon footprint and enhancing the company’s focus on sustainability, encouraging customers, non-profits, and workers to contribute to the ambitious practice of saving the planet. As Dean Carter, Patagonia Vice President of Human Resources and Shared Services states, “Use business to inspire” is embedded in the center of our mission for a reason. If we only make change in our bubble at Patagonia, and don’t inspire change for a greater good outside the company, then we have not lived up to the full extent of our reason for being. Not only do we need to make more progress on how we include and bring more historically underrepresented groups in to Patagonia, we need to do it in a way that broadens who we experience wild places with and builds a more representative community of stewards who will keep those places protected for the generations to come.“ This event will encourage everyone to join the 1% for The Planet movement that helps protect our environment.
