Yvon Chouinard is more than a businessman. He has demonstrated that it’s possible to create a successful business and it aligns with ethical ideas. Therefore it’s possible other way, since no excuses. You should think about what are the main challenges you wish to deal with? He is a legendary climber and founder of Patagonia Inc., but the most important it’s to keep his environmentalist ideas in business management and with profitability… and it’s possible.

He believes that businesses are to blame for a majority of the destruction of nature but simultaneously qualifies that businesses can enact positive social and environmental change. What about powerful brands like Nike, Apple, etc.? They could change a big part of the world, they only will need restructuration production process and to change the focus of their marketing. But like Quevedo said: “Mighty lord is Mr. Money”. An absolute triumph: failing without despair, succeeding without arrogance. Really, currently it’s difficult in businessman to do it, with the pressing by market shares…

The best of Yvon Chouinard’s theory is that it’s true, and he has demonstrated it with a profitability business. He says: “Every time we do the right thing, we increase our profits significantly. Make the best product, cause no unnecessary harm”.

Marketing should learn a lot of examples like this, and it should try to change mentality in businessmen. Patagonia is an example of how a company run by a person with strong beliefs can use its products and market them to spread those beliefs among the public.

Maybe it’s to advanced way in the idea’s ways, but I think we should apply it, since right now.
