Join The North Face Family 

The North Face was built on a love for the outdoors and the desire to enable all types of exploration, for all people, from their backyards to the Himalayas.

We extend our reach through support of non-profit organizations, establishing programs that connect participants with close-to-home recreation opportunities, and creating a connection with young leaders, inspiring them to explore and conserve. As we enter our sixth decade, we pledge to: 

  • Empower exploration and the thrill of the unknown for as many people as possible. 
  • Protect the places where we live, play, and operate. 
  • Evolve the way we make our products by improving our environmental performance and social responsibility in the supply chain.
