®
Build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis.
~Patagonia's Mission Statement
Patagonia grew out of a small company that made tools for climbers. Alpinism remains at the heart of a worldwide business that still makes clothes for climbers - as well as for skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fly fishing, paddling and trail running. These are all silent sports. None requires a motor; none delivers the cheers of a crowd. In each sport, reward comes in the form of hard-won grace and moments of connection between us and nature.
Patagonia's values reflect those of a business started by a band of climbers and surfers, and the minimalist style they promoted. The approach they take towards product design demonstrates a bias for simplicity and utility.
For those at Patagonia, a love of wild and beautiful places demands participation in the fight to save them, and to help reverse the steep decline in the overall environmental health of our planet. They donate their time, services and at least 1% of their sales to hundreds of grassroots environmental groups all over the world who work to help reverse the tide.
They know that their business activity - from lighting stores to dyeing shirts - creates pollution as a by-product. So they work steadily to reduce those harms. They use recycled polyester in many of their clothes and only organic, rather than pesticide-intensive, cotton.
Staying true to their core values during thirty-plus years in business has helped them create a company we are proud to represent and sell for. And their success in making the best products has brought them success in the marketplace.
We at Highland Hiker are proud and honored to be associated with such a reputable and environmentally conscious company.
