Patagonia Expand The high quality outdoor clothing company has the following mission statement: "Build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis." A small grant from Patagonia helped establish our fledgling rivers trust back in 1996. Since then, the company has supported several projects through its World Trout Initiative.
