Sustainable Students
Here at Levi Strauss & Co. we’re focused on building sustainability into everything we do. The goal? Have our profitable growth help restore the environment. We know that we can’t tackle this challenge alone – so we’re talking with a lot of different people about what we can do together. Among them, students.

The Mayor, The Governor & Green Jobs
California’s economic future is one of green jobs and clean energy. That’s why the recent efforts to repeal or delay AB 32, California’s landmark and clean energy law, would have been an economic and environmental policy disaster.

New Jeans. Incredible Finishes. Less Water.
Here’s how it all started. A team of us – all designers – went to one of our laundries and told the folks there that we wanted to do the most incredible denim finishing we’d ever done – but we didn’t want to use water.If you’re into blue jeans like I am, you know that’s a tall order.I mean, anyone can create a jean using less water. But the challenge is using innovative techniques to create the finishes customers want…without using a lot of water.We believe we’ve done both.

Bullying: There’s More To Do.
It’s safe to say the bullying hasn’t stopped. But we’d like to think the recent focus on the problem is having an impact. Of course, it’s a shame that it comes only after the recent, tragic suicides of at least five young people – bullied because they were either gay or perceived “different” in some way.

Save It, Kids.
When’s the last time you heard a teenager talk about his small business and the people he employed. Perhaps…never?It happened to me just recently. In fact, I listened to two teenagers talk about the difference savings and financial education had made in their lives. One spoke of his lawn care business and his five employees. He wrote the business plan, saved for the expenses and still managed to pay for college. The other, a high school student from Connecticut, saved for three CDs – as in Certificates of Deposit.

Bullying. Bad – No Matter What.
What was it – five teens committing suicide in the past few weeks as a result of bullying? And those were just the ones that we heard about.These tragedies occurred because the bullies believed their targets – the victims – to be gay. But no matter what you think about a person’s sexual orientation, you have to agree that bullying is bad.
