Patagonia registers as "Benefit Corporation" in CA on 01/03/2012 21:21:43 MST Print View

Patagonia has filed paperwork to be a Benefit Corporation in the state of California.
In fact Yvon Chouinard was the first in line to file.
A benefit corporation is one that makes a "material positive impact on society or the environment."
