GLOBAL CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP

The long-term partnership galvanizes consumers through product collaborations, donation round-up programs and customer activism.

 
 
 
 

Authentic and Global Citizen launched the exclusive Take Action initiative and collaboration mark in November 2023 with Reebok, followed by Aéropostale’s Take Action co-branded program in March 2024.
