Calls to “overhaul” capitalism rarely come from the C-suite, but Patagonia CEO Ryan Gellert doesn’t mince words. “Businesses for far too long have hidden behind this narrative that their number one role is to maximize shareholder wealth. That’s a fine little academic conversation to have, but we’ve outgrown it,” he says over video from his office at Patagonia’s headquarters in Ventura, Calif. Last September, Yvon Chouinard, Patagonia’s founder, announced that he was donating the company to a trust and a nonprofit that would use its earnings—some $100 million a year—to fund efforts to fight climate change. “Earth is now our only shareholder,” declared Mr. Chouinard.

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.

As CEO of Patagonia, Ryan Gellert wrestles with a paradox: The outdoor-gear maker's good works, philanthropy, and intentions are still not enough to justify its existence. To Gellert, who took over from the widely respected Rose Marcario, the company could always be doing more. And we need business to step up. Patagonia really struggled in Europe, and that never made sense to me. One of the things that I love more than anything about Patagonia is that we are an unapologetically for-profit business.
