    Our B Corp Journey

    When we launched Fair Harbor a decade ago, we were committed to building an ethical brand focused on sustainability and purpose-driven business practices. Every day, we carry out this mission in everything we do—from the sustainable fabric we make and the responsible factories we partner with to the eco-friendly production practices we use and the way we organize community cleanups.

    We’re also extremely proud to have repurposed more than 35 million plastic bottles to make our clothing.
