Wear the Pants. Again. And Again.
This Thursday is World Water Day. And we’re trying something interesting in our offices and stores around the world.
Starting today, for five days, employees and store associates will be asked – not required – to wear the same pair of jeans or khakis every day.
In the picture above, that’s a sponge, securely attached to someone’s jeans. If they wash them, the sponge expands – and everyone will know!

From Blue to Green to Gold
It shouldn’t surprise you to learn that our recently remodeled headquarters building here in San Francisco has recycled denim insulation in the walls. About 25,500 pairs’ worth.
All that blue has just added up to gold for us – in the form of LEED Gold Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council, highlighting the building’s high performance in multiple areas of green design and energy use.

Recycling Denim - The Old Fashioned Way
You’ve worn those jeans for years. It’s time to retire them. But what to do?
Rose Schumacher knows.
Rose makes quilts. For the homeless. From old jeans.
The Wichita, Kansas, grandmother began quilting blankets for the homeless six years ago. She collected used jeans from friends, neighbors and members of her community. Then she transformed these once-loved pants into warm blankets, which she donated to The Lord’s Diner, a faith-based non-profit organization that provides dinner seven days a week for those in need.

The Power of Women – Today and Tomorrow
When it comes to women, ours is an interesting industry. While women may dominate the number of apparel industry workers around the world, they don’t always have the power and respect that should come with such numbers.
Levi Strauss & Co. has long worked to ensure the rights of workers. In 1991, we were the first multinational apparel company to establish a comprehensive workplace code of conduct for our manufacturing suppliers.

A Jump Gone Wrong. And Then...
If you know Bear Grylls only through his television adventure shows, you may not know what led to where he is today – an internationally known figure, now part of Dockers® Wear the Pants™ campaign.
He tells the story far better than I ever could, but just know that it involves a parachute jump gone wrong. Intense determination. And a silver lining.
As the Dockers® folks would say: Clearly, Bear wears the pants. Listen up, and judge for yourself:

We Are Explorers
I’ve got to say that I’m impressed with the winners of the Denizen® brand’s We Are Explorers casting call. For instance, meet Lorena Garal. That's her on the left in the picture above. A resident of Mexico City, Lorena's 25 and a competitive motocross racer.
And then there’s Nawed Khan, above right, a 30-year-old music producer from Mumbai, India. He’s one of the biggest names in India’s nightlife music scene and one of the first Indian DJs to enjoy international success.
