In 2022, the Chouinard family gave their company away, converting ownership to a simple structure of trusts and nonprofits, so that all the profits from the company can be used to protect our home planet and work to reverse climate chaos. Stanley and Chouinard recount how the company and its culture gained confidence, especially through mistakes, to make its work progressively more responsible, and to ultimately challenge other companies, as big as Wal-Mart and as small as the corner store, to do the same. \u003cbr\u003eThe authors describe the current impact of manufacturing, commerce, and traditional capitalism on the planet's natural systems and human communities, and how that impact is forcing business to change its ways. The Future of the Responsible Company shows companies how to reduce the harm they cause, improve the quality of their business, and provide the kind of meaningful work everyone seeks. It concludes with specific, practical steps every business can undertake, as well as advice on what to do and in what order. \u003cbr\u003eThe book shows companies how to thread their way through economic sea change and slow the drift toward ecological bankruptcy: Reduce your environmental footprint (and its skyrocketing cost), make legitimate products that last, reclaim deep knowledge of your business and its supply chain to make the most of opportunities in the years to come, and earn the trust you'll need by treating your workers, customers, and communities with respect. It also describes the threats of traditional capitalism and why the owners of Patagonia made the decisions they did to ensure that the company will still exist and have an impact in 100 years. An explanation of Patagonia's new business organization, The Patagonia Purpose Trust and The Holdfast Collective, rounds out this business book. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"buy-config__title\"\u003e\n\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"pdp__content-feature pdp__content-feature--wide\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"content-feature__heading\"\u003e About the Authors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"content-feature__description\"\u003eVincent Stanley has been with Patagonia on and off since its beginning in 1973, for many of those years in key roles as head of sales or marketing.

The company was nearly 50 when Chouinard decided it was time for another improvement. In September 2022, Chouinard and his family made a historic announcement: They had adopted a purpose-driven ownership model, locking in the company's values ​​and dedicating the excess profits to protecting our home planet. Since 1957, Chouinard and his family have lived in California and Wyoming. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"pdp__content-feature\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"content-feature__heading\"\u003e Endorsement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"content-feature__description\"\u003e One thing is clear: The future, if it could, would invest in, work for, and buy from Patagonia.—John Elkington, author of \u003ci\u003eGreen Swans: The Coming Boom in Regenerative Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"pdp__content-feature\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"content-feature__heading\"\u003e Endorsement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"content-feature__description\"\u003e Brims with clear explanations and practical guidance, as well as the underlying thinking that frames what it can mean to do business for the health of both planet and people.—Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"pdp__content-feature\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"content-feature__heading\"\u003e Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"content-feature__description\"\u003ePaperback; 208 pages printed in full color with over 80 photos throughout; 6\" X 9\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"pdp__content-feature\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"content-feature__heading\"\u003e Publisher\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"content-feature__description\"\u003e Published by Patagonia \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"pdp__content-feature\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"content-feature__heading\"\u003e Special Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"content-feature__description\"\u003e Online resource folder includes text notes and a bibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"content-feature__heading\"\u003e Country of Origin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"content-feature__description\"\u003e Made in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"content-feature__heading\"\u003e Weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"content-feature__description\"\u003e 425g (15oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Patagonia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56426826826072,"sku":"BK235-000-ALL","price":399.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/3823\/9832\/files\/inlandet-the-future-of-the-responsible-company-book.jpg?v=1766054788","url":"https:\/\/inlandet.se\/en\/products\/the-future-of-the-responsible-company","provider":"INLANDET.se","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
