Barebones, attuned to nature and fire, they provide inspiration, goods and guidance to help you revel in it. Whether you're farming, cooking, camping or exploring, our products will enhance your outdoor experience.
The story:
Barebones has a history steeped in philanthropic work and continues to lift people out of poverty by providing essential skills, education and tools.
The first product ever created by the Barebones team was the state-of-the-art emergency shelter, and this continues to be one of the key strengths they provide to disadvantaged communities and disaster recovery efforts. .Thanks to these rudimentary shelters, people in countries around the world are actively receiving the protection they desperately need.
Barebones has evolved from its philanthropic roots, but continues its humanitarian efforts and the "Do Good" philosophy on which it was founded.
Vision:
"When you do good with your heart, the magic happens and that goodness comes right back."
Robert Workman, creator of the brand, has spent his career finding ways to give back: from his beginnings with his first philanthropic venture, Tifie, a non-profit organization that helped marginalized people meet their basic needs, to Goal Zero, a company that started as a way to provide solar power to groups in Congo (and now to many around the world).
In recent years, Robert has returned to his agricultural roots creating Barebones and products that help connect people to food, nature and the primordial attraction of fire. He has become more in tune with mother nature and finds joy in helping others do the same.
Sustainability:
Impact: Barebones is a Certified B Company. We adhere to the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability, and focus on long-term solutions that create a positive impact on our employees, our community and the world.
Our sustainability philosophy is constantly evolving: we work hard to go beyond set goals and metrics to reduce waste and minimize environmental impact. Our final goal is to remove all single-use plastics from our packaging and master-packs.
Culture:
Giving back is a key part of our corporate culture and at the heart of what we do. Employees are given one week of time each year to volunteer for a nonprofit organization of their choice and volunteer locally at Roots Charter High School in Utah.
Barebones believes in empowering communities to thrive, both locally and internationally, when resources are available. This abundance mindset is their "why" behind the generous donation of time, energy, knowledge and products to benefit communities near and far.
