In Good Company
You’ve heard us talk a lot about sustainability on this blog. With the company’s commitment to building sustainability into everything we do, there’s often a lot to talk about. Although we do understand that actions speak louder than words.
That said, in sharing news about our sustainability work, we’ve recently found ourselves in good company.
We are among the top companies in terms of “best practice social media sustainability communication,” as published in the SMI-Wizness Social Media Sustainability Index.
Quoting the report on Levi Strauss & Co.

Post Cards from Guangzhou
Lewis Carroll once wrote, “…all that is really worth doing is what we do for others.”
It’s true, you know. And it’s one of the reasons I enjoy working at Levi Strauss & Co. – because of the company’s commitment to the communities where we work and live.
And that includes near Guangzhou, China. Here’s what I mean…
Back in December, as part of our Giving Back at the Holidays, a group of employees, led by my colleague Ray Yang, decided to help some rural children.

Lucky in Levi's®
I flew off the back of the bike and slid for about 200 yards. The fall gave me a concussion, a severely broken hand, bruised ribs and some scrapes.

Be a Part of 501® History!
Who knew?
When Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis decided to use rivets to hold together the work pants they made for hard-working Western pioneers, they invented the first blue jean. Little did they know that the Levi’s® 501® jean would become an American icon, loved by generation after generation.
And it’s safe to say, no other product has been worn, loved or re-imagined quite like Levi’s® 501® jeans. They are the resilient and defining wardrobe staple of cultural leaders from presidents to musicians to movie stars.

The Interns Speak
Every year, we welcome a number of interns to our San Francisco headquarters. Here, these college students – between their junior and senior years – have a great opportunity to learn about apparel and retail from some of the best in the business – the employees of Levi Strauss & Co.
This isn’t a summer of grabbing coffee for an executive. It’s a roll-up-your-shirtsleeves, hands-on experience where you work, learn, and contribute. You’ll even make presentations on what you’ve done to brand and company leaders.

Learning in Levi's®
When I was barely a teenager, I started working on the ranches and in the mountains near Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
I learned to shoe horses, break horses, cut and stack hay, and plant and harvest oat fields.

Breaking the Silence
In order to help end HIV/AIDS among women, we also have to break the silence about violence against women. This is Christine’s philosophy, and it’s what drives this activist to organize group meetings for women affected by HIV/AIDS in her country of Zambia.
All around the world, but particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, violent norms and practices against women put them at a higher risk of contracting HIV. In addition, fear of further abuse or the social stigma surrounding the virus often dissuades women from learning their HIV status — or from sharing it with partners and families.

Looking Good, Garbage!
The jeans and jacket you see here have something in common with that plastic bottle in your hand.
What is it? That plastic bottle in your hand.
Today, the Levi's® brand launches its new Waste<Less™ denim collection.
