Social Responsibility

“As global travelers and manufacturers, social responsibility and sustainability are the bedrock of our existence.”

Fair Trade Certified

For every Fair Trade Certified™ product sold, Roark pays an additional Premium directly back to the workers who made our clothes. Collectively, they vote on how to spend the funds on projects that address local needs so that their families and children can thrive for generations to come.
Give Back Initiatives

On each journey we find ways to give back to the local community based on needs. Whether it’s Environmental, Humanitarian or Social – it’s mission critical to leave a positive footprint on the places we go for inspiration and adventure.
