I love COldwater Creek clothes. 90% of my work wardrobe is from this company. Not only are they gorgeous, but they are well made, and well fitting. Anyhoo, the company has decided to be more "socially resposible" and have moved to renewable wind power for all their US facilities. They are taking other steps as well.

A letter from Dennis Pence
Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Coldwater Creek
In the summer of 2004, our Board of Directors approved the formation of the Coldwater Creek Social Responsibility Committee – an innovative group of employees which remains very active today. I'm happy to report that many of the things we discussed doing at that time are either in place or well on their way to being so. Of course, we still have a long list of items that need to be tackled.
At our first meeting, I asked the committee to join me in “thinking big thoughts” in relation to potential social and ethical concerns associated with our plans to begin direct importing on a global level. Quickly, our conceptual scope broadened to embrace areas that went beyond global apparel sourcing, including issues related to our employees and their families, the local communities affected by our presence as an employer, our customers and investors, and our impact on the environment.
