About
At REI, we love to get outside and play, and we know first-
hand the importance of quality outdoor gear. We stand behind
all our products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and we
design our own line of award-winning REI brand gear and
clothing. Whether you're new to outdoor adventure or a
seasoned pro, we gladly share our enthusiasm for our
products—and the trails, slopes and waterways where we play.
Each year, REI donates millions of dollars to support
conservation efforts nationwide, and sends scores of
volunteers to build trails, clean up beaches, and teach outdoor
ethics to kids. Through responsible business practices, we
strive to reduce our environmental footprint.
What began as a group of 23 mountain climbing buddies is
now the nation's largest consumer cooperative with more than
three million active members. But no matter how large we
grow, our roots remain firmly planted in the outdoors. Our
passion for outdoor adventure is clear, whether you walk into
one of our 80-plus stores, phone us, or visit the REI website.
By staying true to our roots, we've earned a place on
FORTUNE magazine's list of the "100 Best Companies to Work
For" every year since the rankings began in 1998. We work
hard to earn our reputation for quality and integrity every day.
Our commitment remains the same as when we started out in
1938: to inspire, educate and outfit for a lifetime of outdoor
adventure.
