WE CONNECT ACTIVE PEOPLE

A DIFFERENT KIND OF ADVENTURE

We’ve been creating innovative outdoor gear and technologies since 1938. It’s a good start.


AT COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY, WE INVEST IN INITIATIVES THAT HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE PEOPLE WE REACH, THE PLACES WE TOUCH, AND THE PRODUCTS WE MAKE.

At Columbia Sportswear Company, one of our core values is doing the right thing.​ Every day, we choose to do the right thing so that our impact on our people and the planet​ is positive.


My mother, Gert Boyle, the former Chair of our Board, used to say, 'It’s perfect. Now make it​ better.' That kind of thinking undergirds our approach to environmental, social and governance​ challenges and the impact that we have on the world. There is always room to make something better. And we are constantly evolving in our use of technologies, practices and policies to ensure that we continue to get better.”

– Tim Boyle, Chairman, President, & CEO

"Our Corporate Responsibility team works to ensure we’re doing our part to make the outdoors accessible to all. From working with community partners to supporting programs and initiatives in the places that our products are made, we’re committed to responsible practices throughout our business."

– Abel Navarrete, VP, Sustainability and Community Impact
