Every #BlackFriday, we close our doors to give our 15,000 employees the day off to #OptOutside. And this year, we're filling your feed with nothing but nature to filter out the sales noise. Stay tuned to see how our community is opting outside this year. Until then, see you outside. ✌️⛰️🏞️ #BetterTogether #REIemployee #DiscoverBetterAtREI #Benefits

Did you know that #REI has supported 100% renewable energy across all its stores and operations for more than 10 years? 🌎☀️ In the spirit of being a cooperative, we are also committed to helping our community and partners reach similar goals. In North Carolina, we have teamed up with Nester Hosiery LLC —one of our largest manufacturers of hiking socks—to secure renewable energy from local solar projects developed by Sol Systems. This North Carolina renewable energy supports the electricity used by REI's 7 North Carolina stores and Nester's Mount Airy-based manufacturing facility, helping both organizations contribute to the growth of clean energy in the region. You can learn more about this unique partnership in the video below and discover why REI is committed to making renewable energy more accessible to local communities. #BetterTogether #REIEmployee

#REI’s Laura Kelley spoke with Linda Baker on all things Re/Supply for her latest piece in The New York Times on the booming trend surrounding apparel resale.   As a co-op with a 60-year legacy in circular commerce, we see our Re/Supply program to reuse gear, reduce waste and make a sustainable impact as a cornerstone of our work. We’re beyond proud of this program to help co-op members lower their collective carbon impact by maximizing the life of made-to-last products and look forward to watching the resale space continue to grow.   You can read the full piece at https://lnkd.in/ejNXc6sX

We’re working to ensure all our employees are safe and accounted for in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. As part of our commitment to supporting the places where we live and recreate, #REI is making direct financial donations to communities in need. We're asking REI employees, members, and customers to join us in cooperative action by making donations focused on immediate disaster relief. Together, we can respond swiftly to the increasing number of hurricanes and floods affecting our communities.  #BetterTogether #REIemployee Show your support here: https://lnkd.in/eN4hv2tn

Celebrating #Pride isn’t just for the month of June. #REI is committed to supporting employees in celebrating and honoring LGBTQ+ Pride throughout the entire year. The co-op's Prism Inclusion Network (ERG), consisting of members who identify across a spectrum of LGBTQ+ communities, including allies who participate to learn and support their fellow employees, provides many opportunities for collective engagement throughout the year. Here are a few highlights of how we are getting #OutsideWithPride in 2024:   - Expressions of creativity: REI collaborated with Lisa Sy (@lisasystudio), a designer and artist on a vibrant illustration capturing the Progress Flag that celebrates the unapologetic joy and freedom of embracing the outdoors and the full spectrum of queer identity. Enjoy and be inspired! 🤩 - Inclusive design with and for LGBTQ+ community members: REI is delivering more relevant and inclusive products, events partnerships, advocacy, and experiences — for everyone. - Events and Partnerships: A year-round calendar of customer-facing events created with and for LGBTQ+ customers and members — integrating over 20 national, regional, and local LGBTQ+ partners across the country. - Co-op Employees at the center: From a robust slate of Prism Inclusion Network programs to Prism mini grant activations to graphics by Bradlee Thielen gracing the 2024 CB Pride collection, employee voices are heard loud and proud in 2024. 👉 Check it out: https://lnkd.in/enV9DBgH - Leading the way with inclusive policies and practices: Through inclusive education resources, policies, and benefits, REI has up-leveled our support for LGBTQ+ employees, partners and members, leading to a score of 95 on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Corporate Equality Index. 👏👏👏   …and so much more!   #REIemployee #REIBetterTogether #REIbelong ElisaMarie Hatch Sarah Leising Michelle Palermino John Corliss The Launch Pad Teen Center Coyote Metztli @NikaBurns @Olivia Bertalan @Patrick Wentworth @Alex Borucki

Today, in our co-op community, we honor Juneteenth and encourage our teams to foster discussions that promote unity and share the significance of this day of recognition.  In celebration, we collaborated with Stephanie Singleton (@stephaniesing), an illustrator based in Toronto, Ontario, to create a commemorative poster. Stephanie's artwork integrates decorative elements that narrate diverse stories. This illustration showcases flowers rooted in her family's heritage, symbolizing gratitude for the freedom to explore and honoring the foundations laid by her ancestors. We invite you to reflect upon and appreciate this beautiful artwork with us. #REIbelong #REIemployee #BetterTogether
