Yvon Chouinard, the billionaire founder of the outdoor apparel brand Patagonia, said on Wednesday he is giving away the company to a trust that will use its profit to fight the climate crisis.

Instead of selling the company or taking it public, Chouinard, who became famous for alpine climbs in Yosemite National Park and has a net worth of $1.2 billion, is transferring his family's ownership of the company to a trust and a non-profit organization.

"Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we'll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth."

Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard gives away company to combat climate changeFounder Yvon Chouinard said he will put 100% of the company’s voting stock into a trust. Figured the guy would be educated. At least this shows you can be easily manipulated, have no actual opinion, and use mainstream media 'facts' to live life and be rich. I'm surprised the billionaire elitist allowed this for earth !

It´s just about control of humanity since they know the economy will collapse. CO2 lockdowns coming? The Gov: 'You can breath in but...' 🤡 The prices are high enough to ignore this brand as it is. Add this…go woke, go broke. Good riddance.
