Cotopaxi

We create innovative outdoor products and experiences that fund sustainable poverty alleviation, move people to do good, and inspire adventure.

"Impact starts with how we operate. That means taking into account ethics during every phase of a product’s lifecycle—from its design to its manufacture and sale. We’re into funky; we’re into recycled; we’re into treating those who sew our products with respect. To ensure that anyone who touches our products is well-treated, we work with suppliers to uphold a rigorous code of conduct. Each year, we award grants to outstanding nonprofit partners who are carefully selected for their track records at improving the human condition and alleviating poverty. We tie our earnings to impact by allocating 1% of annual revenues to the Cotopaxi Foundation. Simply put, the foundation boosts our grantmaking, democratizes our impact, and helps us make a bigger difference in the communities we touch."
