giving back to the environment
BEND, Ore. – January 23, 2014 – Hydro Flask, the award-winning leader in high-performance, insulated stainless steel flasks, announced that it has become a member of The Conservation Alliance, a group of outdoor businesses giving back to the environment. The announcement was made this morning at the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market taking place in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The Conservation Alliance is a group of outdoor industry companies that disburses its collective annual membership dues to grassroots environmental organizations. Their mission is to engage businesses to fund and partner with organizations to protect wild places for their habitat and recreation values. The Alliance was founded in 1989 by industry leaders REI, Patagonia, The North Face, and Kelty, who shared the goal of increasing outdoor industry support for conservation efforts. With more than 185 member companies, The Conservation Alliance plans to disburse $1.7 million in 2014.
“We are excited and honored to join other like-minded outdoor brands in The Conservation Alliance’s mission to protect the beautiful, wild places where we all like to play,” said Scott Allan, CEO of Hydro Flask.
