Thank you North Face

ODESSA, Texas (KOSA) - Innovex Downhole Solutions says it was recently denied an order of jackets by The North Face, a popular outdoor recreation company, because Innovex is an oil and gas business.

"I was surprised but not surprised, if that makes sense," said Innovex CEO Adam Anderson.

Innovex is based in Houston and has nearly 100 workers in the Permian Basin.

Each year, the company gets a Christmas gift for its employees. This year, it was supposed to be a North Face jacket with an Innovex logo, a company Innovex has ordered gear from in the past.

The company providing the jackets said The North Face doesn't want to support the oil and gas industry in the same way they'd reject the porn industry or tobacco industry.

"They told us we did not meet their brand standards," Anderson said. "We were separately informed that what that really meant is was that we were an oil and gas company."

There's "no chance that North Face could exist as a company or an organization without oil and gas," Wright told Fox Business Thursday.

Fossil fuels are needed to make the petrochemicals that are used in the plastics, nylon, climbing ropes and more that North Face sells, Wright says. Oil and gas products fuel the factories that manufacture the goods. And fossil fuels are the backbone for shipping North Face products around the world.

So when North Face apparently shunned the oil and gas industry by reportedly refusing to fulfill the jacket order for Texas-based Innovex, Wright said the move was the height of "crazy hypocrisy."

So far, the reply from North Face to this beat down has been "crickets"
Living in SoCal, I don't need North Face gear, but if I ever do need cold weather gear, I'll be
sure to buy it elsewhere

I wonder how many socially aware NF employees have moved on after discovering
thier employer's partnership with the oil and gas industry

I would have to say,........Zero.

I'm sure there are many internal memo's on displacing "The Black Smoke creatin' Industries"

With many helpful tips for employees to save The Planet ie, recycleable containers in the employee Cafeteria.

Where, They create wonderful lunchtime creations powered by their Gas Stoves and Microwaves.
