AT RVCA, WE BELIEVE OUR PURPOSE IS TO CREATE A PLATFORM FOR PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF ART, MUSIC, FASHION AND LIFESTYLE BECAUSE AT THE INTERSECTION OF ALL THESE THINGS LIES THE POWER TO SHAPE HUMANITY, SHIFT PERSPECTIVES AND CHANGE HOW WE EXIST IN WORLD. IT’S A TALL ORDER BUT IT’S ONE WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN COMMITTED TO.
FROM TAKING STEPS OVER THE YEARS TO MITIGATE OUR OWN CONSUMPTION OF GOODS AND MATERIALS, TO DONATING FUNDS AND SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE HELPING TO DRIVE FORWARD THAT CHANGE. WHILE NOT EVERY PRODUCT USES SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS AT THIS TIME WE’RE SLOWLY BUT SURELY TAKING STEPS TO REFINE OUR PURPOSE AND APPLY OUR PLATFORM TO MORE IMPORTANT CAUSES. REDUCE. REUSE. RE:PURPOSE.
WHEN IT COMES TO BEING A MORE RESPONSIBLE COMPANY, WE RECOGNIZE WE HAVE A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF US. RVCA IS ON A LENGTHY PATH TO ACHIEVE GREATER SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.
