The North Face brand has grown from a single storefront to a respected global brand that generates over a billion dollars in annual sales in just over 40 years. Yet the fundamental mission remains unchanged: building the best gear for the outdoors, supporting the preservation of wild places, and inspiring a global movement of outdoor exploration.
Showcasing these groundbreaking products, The North Face catalogs promoted wilderness conservation, environmental stewardship and sustainability, earning customer notice-and respect.
In late 2009, The North Face began an Outdoor Exploration program to enable more people to get outdoors. The first Outdoor Exploration program, planetexplore.com, was launched in 2009. This online community is designed to help individuals and families discover and participate in local outdoor events and activities. This site features over 300,000 events annually, as well as provides a zip code search to "Find Nature Near You."
