Social Responsibility
"As global travelers and manufacturers, social responsibility and sustainability are the bedrock of our existence.”
FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED
For every Fair Trade Certified™ product sold, Roark pays an additional Premium directly back to the workers who made our clothes. Collectively, they vote on how to spend the funds on projects that address local needs so that their families and children can thrive for generations to come.
GIVE BACK INITIATIVES
On each journey we find ways to give back to the local community based on needs. Whether it’s Environmental, Humanitarian or Social – it’s mission critical to leave a positive footprint on the places we go for inspiration and adventure.

Where We're At
- Utilizing Fair Trade Factories - Elimination of Harmful Materials & Substances - Monitor Employee Labor Standards
What's Next
- With garment circularity (ability to completely recycle main components of an existing garment) at the forefront of sustainability initiatives, Roark is focused on forward looking product engineering in order to provide recyclable product at the end of its initial product lifecycle
“There is no alternative path, the fork in the trail either leads to a better planet or a disastrous landscape for our children.”
