Billionaire boss gives fashion firm away to fight climate change






The billionaire founder of the outdoor fashion brand Patagonia has given away his company to a charitable trust.

slotxo แตก ง่าย And today, that the admin has sought and in playing the game, and will be playing the game, which is in the data and in these that provide players.

Yvon Chouinard said any profit not reinvested in running the business would go to fighting climate change.

The label has amassed a cult following due to sustainability moves like guaranteeing its clothes for life and offering reasonably priced repairs.

It is famous for an advert titled "Don't buy this jacket" asking shoppers to consider costs to the environment.

The brand's website now states: "Earth is now our only shareholder."

Mr Chouinard has always said he "never wanted to be a businessman".

A rock climbing fanatic, he started out as making metal climbing spikes for himself and his friends to wedge into rocks, before moving into clothing and eventually creating a hugely successful sportswear brand with a cult following.

Founded in 1973, Patagonia's sales were worth around $1.5bn this year, while Mr Chouinard's net worth is thought to be $1.2bn.

But he has always shied away from his wealthy status, telling the New York Times he was "horrified to be seen as a billionaire".


'Exceeded the limits'
He claimed that profits to be donated to climate causes will amount to around $100m (ยฃ87m) a year, depending on the health of the company.

"Despite its immensity, the Earth's resources are not infinite, and it's clear we've exceeded its limits," the entrepreneur said of his decision to give up ownership.

The firm's marketing campaigns - focused around asking people to buy only what they need - have not dampened sales and critics have argued by raising its prominence it has encouraged more spending rather than less.

Prices are relatively high with jumpers, for example, costing around ยฃ200 and T-shirts around ยฃ40, but the company argues that the cost reflects the fact its clothes are meant to last a lifetime.

Patagonia's chairman, Charles Conn, acknowledged the higher prices but said cheap fast fashion was "anathema" to the brand.
