2022 Impact Report
The collective good a co-op can do
REI is a different kind of company. As a co-op, we measure success against our positive impact on our employees, members, society and business. Our Impact Report shows what we've done (with your support!) to help connect every person to the power of the outdoors and engage them in the fight to protect it.

2022 Highlights
Cooperative Action
More than 78,000 members of the REI community have joined us in advocating for the outdoors through our grassroots advocacy program since its 2021 launch. Together, we’ve sent more than 250,000 messages to decision-makers at the state and national levels, helping to pass three bills that tackle the climate crisis and make the outdoors a more equitable place to recreate.
ESG Scorecard
Our ESG Scorecard allows us to transparently track our progress against key performance indicators across environmental, social and governance topics.
Outdoor Afro
In 2022, Outdoor Afro Inc. and REI launched a co-create hike collection to help solve unmet needs in outdoor apparel and celebrate Black joy in nature.
Co-op Membership
For the first time in 84 years, we significantly changed the ways that members can connect with the co-op. A lifetime REI membership includes benefits that make it easier for people to make the most out of every experience outside and be part of a community that supports a new outdoor culture.
Path Ahead Ventures
In 2022, Path Ahead Ventures launched three programs for founders, partnered with 39 entrepreneurs, provided $370,000 in grants, and invested $2.3 million in 11 companies.
