We will use our resources to help reduce our industry ’ s impact on climate change
just the start . Among the hundreds of thousands of chemicals that exist in our daily lives , six classes of toxic chemicals are of particular concern regarding the health of the environment and those that inhabit it .
Many of these chemicals are found in supply chains around the world . Thus far , KEEN has avoided or removed five of the six forever chemicals , which is pretty good going .
“ The last class we need to tackle is solvents ,” Hari explains , “ Consequently , we ’ re now in the process of reducing our usage by rethinking construction techniques and finding safe alternatives .
“ We ’ ve made tremendous progress . I can envision a future when none of these chemicals are found in a KEEN product or factory . What a day that ’ ll be !”
Speaking of the future , where would Hari like to see KEEN in five years ? “ Continuing our mission to make original , greatfitting , long-lasting goods that improve work , play , and everything in between !” he answers .
“ We will use our resources to help reduce our industry ’ s impact on climate change . We ’ re also excited to bring durability and performance into our lifestyle category to reach new fans and inspire even more people to live without a ceiling .” ■
