I am dead serious about saving this planet.”Chouinard and his family have handed 98 percent of their shares to a newly-created non-profit, named the Holdfast Collective, which will now receive an estimated $100 million a year—comprising all the profits from Patagonia that aren’t invested back into the company.
The remaining two percent of their shares have been transferred to a trust, which is designed to ensure the company is staying true to its purpose and values.The outdoors company, which achieved B-Corp status back in 2012, will continue to donate one percent of all its sales every year to grassroot activists. Meanwhile, the Holdfast Collective will use all its funds to “protect nature and biodiversity, support thriving communities, and fight the environmental crisis.”Founded by Yvon Chouinard, a former rock climber, in Ventura, California, in 1973, Patagonia has been a trailblazer in the industry for the past 50 years, with the company first donating 10 percent of its profits to grassroot groups working to save or restore habitats back in 1986.
