Scaling Activism at Patagonia

Long considered the “gold standard” for purpose-driven companies, Patagonia might be considered an activist organization that happens to sell apparel and outdoor gear. This week, we continue our conversation with Corley Kenna on the organization’s move to becoming a B-Corp, scaling community activism and more.

Listen for Corley’s insights on:

  • How Patagonia developed and evolves key purpose-led initiatives including Patagonia Action Works, Tin Shed Ventures, Patagonia Provisions, Patagonia Films, and Worn Wear
  • How Patagonia enforces transparency throughout the business and supply chain, including addressing its own ills and articulating clear steps forward
  • Why Patagonia has thrived as a business while taking sometimes contentious, and frequently unapologetic stances based on values—such as telling customers “don’t buy this jacket” or encouraging advocates to “vote out the a**holes”
  • How Patagonia empowers its employees to live the company’s values—and their own—through industry-leading initiatives and benefits
