  Thank you! This part of their operations isn't talked about enough, IMO -- they are better than average on the environmental front, but their labor practices aren't much better than anyone else's. They care enough to at least use Fair Trade and provide some basic footprint reporting (https://www.patagonia.com/our-footprint/working-with-factories.html https://www.patagonia.com/our-footprint/working-with-factori...), but like Apple's attempts to improve their supply chains, these rarely result in actual on-the-ground improvements for the workers involved.

    The real story is, are they greenwashing or simply struggling in their push to make things better? The “expose” doesn’t touch on that at all, which makes me skeptical. No effort investigating how Patagonia responded internally to the allegations, for example.
