Patagonia Case Study (2 of 4) - Culture
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Originally recorded in 2019, Patagonia’s Vincent Stanley joins host Ryan Honeyman (for part two of a four part series) to explore how a small dirtbag climbing company became a global business in service of “saving our home planet.” They dig into Patagonia’s culture, the Bears Ears lawsuit and benefit corporation status, tools for grassroots activists, and what it really means for businesses to take public stands on policy, democracy, and public lands. Vincent also reflects on diversity, equity, and inclusion, the deep links between racism and environmental destruction, and why biodiversity loss may be the defining ecological crisis of our time.
