As of today, #WorldRefugeeDay, over 120 million people have been forcibly displaced worldwide. That number has more than doubled in the last decade. Numbers that big can feel overwhelming—what can be done about such an incredibly massive problem? That's why today (and every day) it's important to remember that humans can't be reduced to numbers. In an open letter from International Rescue Committee President & CEO David Miliband and co-signed by fellow CEOs including Cotopaxi CEO Damien Huang, we're calling on the private sector to help catalyze lasting change and transform the lives of people affected by conflict and disaster as they rebuild their futures.

Our SFO Retail store sponsored the SF Hunt this year. For those unfamiliar with the event, it is a "Questival like event" that brings people together to romp around SF solving challenging riddles, completing hilarious challenges, and celebrating 10 years creating amazing experiences in San Francisco. There were 400+ participants in the event and we had so much fun being apart of this incredible experience.

Meaningful impact reporting is a backbone of our sustainability and impact programs. Every year, it’s a huge (but worthwhile) lift to bring contributors from nearly every Cotopaxi team, our partners, and our suppliers to measure our social and environmental performance, consider our targets, and take strides forward. As we strive for continuous improvement in our impact reporting, in 2023, we introduced new thought partnership and reporting solutions with Reimag.in, an organization driving transparency across sustainability performance dimensions.

Today we celebrate the incredible work Ambassador Mario Ordonez-Calderon is doing for the environment and his continued dedication to making notable change. "Today, the top 10 Most Endangered Rivers list was released by American Rivers and we are proud to announce that our partnership with The Surfrider Foundation has helped support the designation of the Tijuana River in the 2024 Most Endangered River list.It is a nuanced designation to celebrate, while we proud to nationally amplify the fight for clean water, the significance of the Tijuana River to the community, and the array of environmental injustices that threaten it, we remain saddened that it is only a small step in addressing this decade long violation of the clean water act. We celebrate today but are continuously committed to protecting our environment so that future generations of students from the South Bay can connect with the healing powers of their local waterways.Thank you to all the community members, organizations, government representatives, citizens on both sides of the border, the Kumeyaay Nation, and all other parties who have been advocating long before us. We hope this designation aids and supplements your critical work. And a special thanks to my partner on this project, Sarah Davidson of SurfRiders Clean Border Water Now program. Her steadfast vision, guidance, consideration, and expertise were critical in making this designation happen." - Mario Ordonez-Calderon

Good Deeds Day (Apr 14) is a global movement dedicated to doing good. We joined millions of people and thousands of organizations from 108+ countries to volunteer and #DoGood, as well as the good people at GoodPop who helped spread awareness about this day in the U.S. We participated by sending a crew of volunteers from our distribution center to make sandwiches and coleslaw for the residents of Salt Lake City's Center for Women and Children. We also joined our friends at Kodiak Cakes at Wasatch High School in Heber, UT, where we gave away some Gear For Good, while Kodiak served up a nutritious breakfast. Inspired to do some good deeds, too? Here are some ideas to get you going: https://bit.ly/49KR9Jj
