Sustainable outdoor clothing
Patagonia is an outdoor clothing manufacturer for silent sports: climbing, surfing, skiing and snowboarding, fly fishing, and trail running. The company was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973. Patagonia logo is the outline of Mount Fitz Roy in the border between Chile and Argentina (Patagonia).
Patagonia appreciates that all life on earth is under threat of extinction. They aim to use the resources they have—business, investments, voice, and imaginations—to do something about it.

Patagonia pledges at least one percent of sales or 10 percent of pre-tax profits – whichever is more to environmental groups.
Patagonia is aiming to use 100% recycled or renewable materials in its production in the future. The current percentage is 69%.
In 1994, Patagonia made the decision to take a stand against chemically intensive cotton and switch to organically grown cotton throughout the line.
In an attempt to improve the lives of those who make Patagonia products, they offer 192 styles that are Fair Trade Certified for sewing.
Part of the production is Bluesign® certified.
Weekendbee was founded in 2018 when the founders, Aissa & Jukka were fulfilling their dream of around the world adventure. While backpacking in the most amazing nature destinations of the world, they noticed how much Earth was suffering. The Great Barrier Reef was dying, coral reefs in Indonesia were filling with plastic trash, the glaciers in New Zealand were melting.
Being enthusiastic outdoor people, Aissa & Jukka started looking for more sustainable options for their sportswear which they use every day. Soon they noticed that it is possible to find sustainable sportswear but it takes time and effort to find them. So no wonder they were not so popular yet! This sparked the idea to found Weekendbee. To make it easy to find and purchase sustainable sportswear.
Nowadays Weekendbee has grown to be a team of likeminded people who love the nature and are motivated to make this planet a better place to live for all of us.
