☆ Is Patagonia the end game for profits in a world of climate change?

As far back as 1985, Patagonia deployed portions of its profits to the environment, via an "Earth tax." "The Patagonia model is a little more sophisticated." It often is very attractive from a corporate tax perspective, too, which has been noted of both the Ikea and Patagonia business models. One hundred percent of Patagonia profits are now committed to its new non-profit Holdfast Collective — which owns all of the company's non-voting stock (98% of the total stock). "What people fail to understand about Patagonia, both the past and the future, is that we are unapologetically a for-profit business, and we are extremely competitive," Ryan Gellert said.

Russell James, director of graduate studies in personal financial planning at Texas Tech University, said that the ultra-wealthy generally "can't even use charitable income tax deductions."

The founder of the outdoor brand Patagonia has relinquished his ownership in the business and directed its profits to fight climate change. "Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth, we are using the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source. The company expects to contribute roughly $100 million to the Holdfast Collective through an annual dividend depending on the businesses' success.
