Since 1974, Marmot has focused on the great mountain regions of the world: providing financial assistance, clothing and aid to preserve cultural populations and endangered animals in these remote areas. This effort has taken the company from wild river projects in California to a Canadian marmot preserve to establishing enforceable labor standards in contract sewing factories in China. However, no cause has received as much time and effort or is as important to the people of Marmot, as the dZi Foundation.
The dZi Foundation develops sustainable programs that positively impact individuals and communities within the Himalayan region. Their work is focused in the areas of education, health and welfare. These programs are designed to serve within the existing social framework, maintaining particular sensitivity to local culture and tradition.
