Pingree Detroit
Rihad A.'s Company Details
We believe anything is possible & if you see a better way, find a way to make it happen. We see an opportunity in Detroit to make high-quality, veteran-made footwear & gear that redefines sustainability and maximizes the health and well-being of our workforce, our neighbors, and our customers. STRONG: We have an opportunity to bring manufacturing jobs back home while affirming America's duty to support our veterans. Our strength comes from our commitment to place-based leadership and community rooted development that identifies and elevates the unique skills and assets of a given neighborhood. We honor labor instead of exploiting it. All our products are developed to benefit the surrounding community economically, ecologically, and socially. Instead of working to live better than others, reimagine what's possible when communities reorganize themselves around everything living well. SUSTAINABLE: Pingree Mfg affirms our responsibility to steward the life giving systems around us and make decisions that benefit and protect life 7 generations from now. We have work to do so we can make a sustainable product that meets our standards. We are not interested in greenwashing. We improve our watersheds by eliminating all harmful chemicals from the entire life cycle of our process and invite competitors and partners to do the same. We seek to become carbon neutral, toxic free, and source our materials from the Great Lakes Watershed as quickly as possible. LOCAL: When we do well our neighbors and community do well. The impact of every Detroit-made Pingree purchase is multiplied because we source materials and brilliance locally. Profits are shared with our workers, investors, surrounding community, and other social impact initiatives that benefit veterans or contribute to neighborhood restoration and resilience. We have an opportunity to do more than pay a living wage.
