Nau
Portland, OR

Nau is an eco-friendly clothing company started by former senior executives from Nike and Patagonia. Nau blends profitability with philanthropy — what they see as the new measure of success. Their high standards for sustainability inspired Nau to create 28 new fabrics that are "open source" to encourage industry peers to achieve the same level of sustainability. Nau donates 5% of gross revenues to nonprofit "partners for change," and they involve customers by having them select the nonprofit to receive their 5%.
