About GoLite

Founded in 1998, GoLite is the premier global manufacturer of high performance, responsible apparel and equipment designed specifically for outdoor athletes. But GoLite is far more than a collection of products. Our very name is a philosophy, a commandment to do more with less, and a foundationally sustainable proposition. We believe that lighter products are not only better for the environment, but they make the experience of being outdoors more fun. The more fun people have outdoors, the more they want to spend time in nature. And more people in nature means more people dedicated to the cause of preserving and protecting our planet.

While business is the problem, we believe that business can, and must be, the primary solution. The B Corporation Certification is one important step forward on this journey. The voluntary and independent - yet collective - nature of this certification allows forward-thinking companies to provide an example to others so that we can speed capitalism's renovation process.

Corporate responsibility has been part of GoLite’s ethos since our founding in 1998. GoLite is following a multi-year, metrics-based path to sustainability. We are striving to eliminate or mitigate 100% of our environmental footprint and be a model company in how we treat our people and community. Our long-term objective is to aim past neutrality towards becoming “net positive” to environment and civilization across our entire value chain. We don’t have a “green collection:” we are striving to address 100% of our products and 100% of our operations. As we do this, we are maintaining or increasing our stringent end-use and testing requirements so that as we move forward, we are actually improving product quality and technical performance, not sacrificing them. We have an integrated set of mission, vision, values, policies, guidelines, and goals that guide every decision we make.
