Lacoste is a French apparel company founded in 1933 that is known for its green crocodile logo. It sells clothing, footwear, perfume, leather goods, watches, and eyewear. In 2011, Greenpeace accused Lacoste of working with Chinese suppliers that pollute rivers with hazardous chemicals. Samples from two factories revealed the presence of chemicals like alkylphenols and perfluorinated compounds.
