Each year, Patagonia pledges 1% of our sales to the protection and restoration of the natural environment—regardless of the health of our sales or the economy. We call it our Earth Tax. This year, we identified 741 grassroots environmental groups in 18 countries and gave them $6.2 million in cash to do important work to restore rivers and forests, stop mines, protect endangered wildlife and habitat, and mitigate the effects of climate change. See the full breadth of our environmental and social efforts over the past year, including a list of all Patagonia grant recipients.
