People
REI's more than 10,000 employees demonstrate their passion for the outdoors every day, whether they are helping customers choose the right products and services for their next outdoor adventure or protecting nature so that it its available for generations to come. Employees represent the REI brand, culture and values through their daily interactions with our members, customers and community partners.
Those that manufacture our branded gear and apparel provide value to the co-op. In turn, REI recognizes its obligation to require our manufacturing partners to provide appropriate and safe environments for the people who produce our goods. Therefore, we work to ensure factory and labor compliance to REI's Code of Conduct in the contract facilities where REI-brand products are made. Through the Outdoor Industry Association's Fair Labor Working Group we collaborate with our industry peers to develop and use common compliance standards for other product brands that we sell.
In this section we highlight many of the employee benefits, initiatives and efforts that continue to make REI an employer of choice and an industry leader.
