The True Face of the North Face (archive.ph)

> It started with a nice gesture. Adam Anderson, the CEO of Innovex Downhole Solutions, wanted to buy his employees a Christmas gift. So he ordered 400 North Face jackets and asked that their corporate logo be included.

> Then came the bad news. The North Face company would sell Innovex the jackets but wouldn't include the energy company's logo. The reason? Innovex was an oil and gas company, and it would be a bad thing for North Face's public image to associate itself with the industry.

> Not happy with that answer, Anderson struck back with some public relations of his own. It turns out the vast majority of North Face's apparel—its hoodies, snow pants, coats and many other items in its product line, like backpacks and tents—are made with polyester, polyurethane and nylon, all of which come from petroleum. Even its fancy fleece jackets are made of polyester.

> "The irony in this statement is that your jackets are made from oil and gas products the hardworking men and women of our industry produce," Anderson noted in a letter he sent to Steve Rendle, CEO of VF Corp. (which includes the North Face brand), on LinkedIn. "I think this stance by your company is counter-productive virtue signaling, and I would appreciate you re-considering this stance."

About this sub

THE RULES:

No advertising, this includes "Free stuff for your whatever" type posts, even if you didn't write the post.
Posts must be about things businesses are doing. Posts that are nothing more than long writeups with links to things that "help your business" or explain "why you need this for your business" are advertising and fall under rule #1.
Keep memes and image posts on topic for what businesses are doing.
You're free to talk about what you've done in making your personal business a success, but talk about it in general terms. Don't give product names, pictures, or any kind of links.
Start at #1 and read the rules again.

Posts that are amusingly bad may be moved to and deemed "Coke." Batteries are not included, this offer void where prohibited by law, which is pretty much everywhere including the moon, Mars, and specifically exoplanet GA3-701 where it is punishable by a fine of not less than 15²⁸ stimborbs and 376 solar years in prison. No cash value save that which is in your pants pockets and will need to be given to us. By using this sub, you offer control of your eternal soul to stupidbird who may use it for whatever purposes, up to and including the dark arts in which case your only recourse is to appeal to the council of evil and have your petition denied. Birds are not real. We’ll decide what will be on the contract. You’ll pay us to be allowed to do the work. You will make the product. Then you’ll give it to us, and it will be ours forever. If anybody buys it, we might give you some money. If you’re lucky. Or we might put it in a drawer and forget about it. In any event you will get nothing, and you will thank us for it. This isn't the algorithm, it is close. You understand that any breach of this agreement will invoke unspecified consequences of a dire nature, potentially affecting your being in ways beyond your comprehension. Proceed at your own peril. We've increased your synergy, but this sub cannot save you money if you own a parakeet. Parakeets are not real. All posts here are for informational purposes only and should not be taken as business or medical advice. Supplies are limited, this offer void after January 1, 1922 or when supplies are exhausted. Please put that down, don't stick that in there, and for the love of god please put on some pants, no one wants to see that. (c) 1988 Con-Troll, Inc, PO Box 12, Wrestlemania, MN.
