Running our company in a manner that is socially and environmentally responsible is core to REI's purpose – we want to ensure that the next generation has a connection to the natural spaces we all enjoy today and tomorrow.

Our work involves employees and members, and extends into the larger community through partnerships with nonprofits and collaboration with our peers in the outdoor industry. We're also using our business to find innovative solutions to some of society's most pressing challenges.

We invite you to read our annual stewardship report, which outlines the co-op's successes and challenges during the 2009 calendar year. The report is structured into the three sections — Community; Environment; and People. A table of contents is also provided for quick reference.
