.Patagonia owner donates $3 billion company to climate change activism

Yvon Chouinard, 83, said in a statement Wednesday that rather than selling Patagonia, which is valued at roughly $3 billion, his family has decided to transfer it to public trusts and nonprofit groups specifically designed to ensure all revenue not reinvested back into the business is funneled into fighting climate change and protecting the environment.

Patagonia estimates that its annual profits will be about $100 million, meaning that the contributions could significantly increase environmental activist funding.“Truth be told, there were no good options available. So, we created our own,” Chouinard said of his family’s decision to create both the Patagonia Purpose Trust and the Holdfast Collective nonprofit organization as recipients of the company’s profits.

Patagonia Founder Is Giving His Company Away in Pledge to Fight Climate ChangeRather than sell the company or take it public, Yvon Chouinard said the outdoor clothing brand he founded nearly 50 years ago will be owned by a trust and a nonprofit organization. Lame I read the wapo or nyt article (I forget which) and I was so impressed and grateful that I resolved to buy their products from now on; until I went to their website and remembered why I didn’t buy their stuff before. (Very pricey) Holdfast Collective, the nonprofit organization, owns 98% of the company and all of the nonvoting stock, which doesn’t give it decision-making authority. The Patagonia Purpose Trust owns 2% of the company and all of the voting stock. Voting stock matters.
