Case Notes for Instructors How can businesses make a difference in a world of decreasing resources? Patagonia, a privately held outdoor clothing company based in Ventura, California, is working toward finding an answer to that question. Patagonia develops and markets clothing for outdoor sports, travel, and everyday wear. The company has integrated core beliefs and values into every product it produces and is known for its innovative designs, exceptional quality, and environmental ingenuity. High integrity and commitment to the environment have regularly placed Patagonia on the Ethisphere Institute’s “World’s Most Ethical Companies” list.This case looks at Patagonia’s history, core values, and management. The case also looks at the company’s environmental initiatives and its commitment to social responsibility.Students should consider how Patagonia has positively impacted the environment and other businesses, such as its supply chain partners. Students should also consider competitors, such as The North Face, which have been more hesitant to take a stance on social and environmental issues. Students may also consider the challenges associated with being a socially responsible company.Themes • Ethical leadership • Corporate social responsibility • Sustainability • Environmental issues • Values • Corporate culture • Suppliers • Employee relationships
