RISE

RISE De industrie herdefiniëren ter ondersteuning van gelijkheid
At Columbia maken we duurzame, iconische en innovatieve producten die mensen in staat stellen langer van het buitenleven te genieten. We combineren onze aanpak van productontwikkeling met onze inzet voor onze consumenten, gemeenschappen en het milieu. We willen dat je er trots op bent onze producten te dragen wanneer je maar naar buiten gaat. De input van stakeholders is van onschatbare waarde voor de voortdurende verbetering van onze programma’s bij Columbia, en ik nodig je uit om mee te werken aan het verbeteren van deze programma’s door je feedback te delen via cr@columbia.com.

— Joe Boyle,
President van Columbia

Peer education is central to RISE’s delivery, in order to effectively build capacity and distribute knowledge and helpful support across communities. This includes training trusted peer educators so they can communicate with other workers on financial, health, respect, and digital technology education.
Columbia's Impact

Since 2008, Columbia has supported 46 workplace programs in 5 countries. Through these programs, over 101,000 workers have benefitted from the education and resources that RISE provides. Of this total, women-identifying workers made up over 80,000 of the RISE program participants.

Unified Approach

RISE aims for sustained progress on gender equality and women’s empowerment in the supply chain through continual learning from partners and members, adapting to industry changes, and responding to the evolving needs and priorities of women workers.

RISE brought together the four largest women’s empowerment programs in the apparel industry - BSR’s HERproject, Gap Inc. P.A.C.E, CARE and Better Work - to build from proven approaches, scale impact, and improve efficiency. These organizations have worked with over 50 of the world’s largest apparel brands and have reached over five million women workers around the world.
Columbia is making this commitment to women's health and empowerment because it is the right thing to do.

Workers are a critical part of our supply chain and it is important for us to contribute to their health and well-being on and off the factory floor. This benefits not only the workers, but their families and their communities.

– Tim Boyle, Chairman, President and CEO of Columbia Sportswear Company
