North Face Refuses 400+ Jacket Order from a Houston Oil and Gas Company Because They Don't Want to Support Gas and Oil
Dumb fucks at North Face didn't take in to account that they NEED gas and oil make their products and distribute them. It's too bad that the gas and oil industry cannot refuse to supply North Face with the gas and oil they need to make their products.

This is so absurd. I hope the folks at Innovex sue the shit out of them. Now the cancel culture gets to pick and chose who they do business with - all the while using and relying upon the very products they seek to cancel. Clown world!

Article below.

The North Face is being accused of being hypocritical for refusing a jacket order from a Texas-based oil and gas company because the brand’s business significantly relies on fossil fuels.

The incident gained attention because Adam Anderson, CEO of the Houston-based Innovex Downhole Solutions, penned an open letter on LinkedIn to Steve Rendle, CEO of VF Corp., The North Face’s parent, that has gone viral among the oil and gas industry’s supporters.

Innovex had intended to gift The North Face jackets, customized with the Innovex logo, to employees as Christmas gifts. Mr. Anderson said the company was informed by The North Face that it doesn’t want to support the oil and gas industry, in the same way they don’t want to be associated with alcohol, tobacco and adult entertainment businesses.


“They told us we did not meet their brand standards,” Mr. Anderson told CBS7 in Odessa, TX. “We were separately informed that what that really meant is was that we were an oil and gas company.”


In his open letter, he argued that oil and gas has enabled a quality of life “unfathomable only a century ago” and insisted climate change activists are over-estimating the threat of hydrocarbons. He called The North Face’s decision not to sell to Innovex “ironic” and “counterproductive virtue signaling” because The North Face jackets are made from petroleum products, and activities such as ski and canoeing, promoted by The North Face, often require travel supported by fossil fuels.

The North Face didn’t respond directly to the case, but in a statement to the Financial Times said it “thoroughly investigates product requests to ensure they align closely with our goals and commitments surrounding sustainability and environmental protection.”

I know! It's absurd that they had the audacity to tell that oil company no, when North Face NEEDS oil and gas to make and distribute their product. The hypocrisy is jaw dropping.

I can't afford North Face clothing, so there's that.

Massive hypocrisy on NF's part, given that their clothing is made from petroleum-derived synthetic fabrics.

They must really want to go out of business.

Agreed, their new motto is, "Dumb Fucks 'R Us".

The epitome of virtue signalling and hypocrisy.

I'm disappointed because they marketed some of the best trail shoes I ever wore.

I wish companies would keep politics private.

In other news. North Face' fabric supplier refuses to supply them because they don't support their industry.

Exactly. Ridiculous! Remember how pissed all the libs got when that bakery in Colorado refused to bake a cake for a gay couple. That poor baker owner got sued until they lost everything. Again, the hypocrisy is breath thaking.
