Patagonia – Climate Strike
Patagonia will close all its stores around the world to support climate strikes, which will take place on September 20th and 27th 2019, and to ensure that every employee can take part.
Several events, organized around the world, will call for the end of the fossil fuel era and will demand climate justice for all. In many countries of the world they will be held on Friday September 20th, while in the Netherlands and Italy they will take place on Friday September 27th, the day on which the stores of Cortina, Milan and Montebelluna will remain closed.
Patagonia stores, and all offices in Europe, will allow their employees to take part in local events.
Ryan Gellert, Patagonia General Manager EMEA, explained the company’s decision:
“The climate crisis is a human issue that affects us all. We are inspired by young activists who are carrying out a global movement and, like them, Patagonia is calling for an urgent and decisive action for the good of people and the planet. As an international company, we will close our stores on September 20th and 27th, we will demonstrate with young activists and ask governments around the world to intervene. We invite companies and anyone who is concerned about the fate of the Earth and mankind to react concretely and join us.”
