Patagonia

Patagonia is a U.S.-based outdoor apparel and equipment company specializing in clothing and gear for climbing, skiing, surfing, and other outdoor activities. Founded in 1973, the company has become widely recognized for integrating environmental responsibility into its business model. Patagonia focuses heavily on reducing environmental impacts across its supply chain, including the use of recycled materials, responsible sourcing, and product durability. A significant portion of the company’s greenhouse gas footprint falls within Scope 3 emissions, primarily associated with raw material production, textile manufacturing, transportation, and product lifecycle impacts. To address these emissions, Patagonia invests in supply chain decarbonization, circular product design, repair and reuse programs, and responsible material sourcing, such as recycled polyester and organic cotton.
