• Levi Strauss CEO Chip Bergh doubled down on the clothing company’s efforts to slowly expand a gender-neutral collection when pressed about controversy recently garnered by Bud Light.
• Bergh was asked by Axios senior business reporter Hope King at a conference in San Francisco about the firm’s efforts to market products in a world where individuals are “more aware of their gender identities,” a reality which King noted corresponds with growing consumer frustration with perceived corporate social activism such as the marketing partnership between Bud Light and social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
• The executive replied that Levi’s is responding to demand for clothing which conforms to neither male nor female identities.
