but nobody does anything about it right?

for what it’s worth, I will drop this letter into the mailbox on the way home

Dear Patagonia,

When will I be able to read in Patagonia’s catalogue about the company’s labour standards?

I am impressed by Patagonia’s comittment to environmental sustainability. However, I don’t know if I can count on the company to give the same consideration to the equally important task of ensuring livable conditions for the employees of it’s contractors. Does Patagonia have a policy about the work and pay conditions of the people who make Patagonia gear? Where I can I read about it?

Something as simple as a mention in the catalogue of where each garment was manufactured would help me to make mindful choices.

Patagonia’s leadership in the environmental field has been a great success (and helped me to find the money to buy Patagonia products). I would love to see Patagonia become as much a leader in the fight against the downward spiral of worldwide working conditions as it is environmentally.

Sincerely,

Hugh Stimson
