Yes! Btw, the founder, Yvon Chouinard, a renowned mountain climber, wrote a great book about the story behind the company which is regarded as the “philosophical manual for the employees of Patagonia”. Awesome read imo.

He did a great podcast episode on How I Built This too: https://www.npr.org/2018/02/06/572558864/patagonia-yvon-chou...
Thanks, highly recommended. It's nice to hear Yvon in his own words, always aspiring to do better.

I'm not sure why Patagonia boycotting Facebook ads is even news. Given Facebooks track record i don't know why people use their service or advertise there at all.

He’s also done a lot of work on dam removal/riparian ecosystem restoration
*Edit: Let My People Go Surfing is the name of the book.
