Allbirds to Raise Prices on Black Friday to Fight Climate Change

Allbirds – the New Zealand-based footwear company that broke into the market in 2014 with its environmentally-friendly business model – stepped up this Black Friday with a contrarian approach to the holiday selling extravaganza. Rather than offering discounts, Allbirds raised all shoe prices by $1 and is donating the extra dollar to Greta Thunberg's youth-led climate movement, Fridays for Future.
