About GAP Our History In 1969, inclusivity meant not just finding a pair of jeans that fit founder Don Fisher’s 6’4 frame, but creating a retail experience that fit for all. It meant Doris Fisher having the same equity stake in the company as her husband, back when most women weren’t expected in the building, let alone in the board room. Inclusive, By Design We believe that when you decide that inclusion isn’t optional, not only do the gaps between us close, but a whole new world of possibilities opens. Discover how we’re weaving inclusion into everything we do for our customers, our communities, and the planet. Sonia Syngal CALIFORNIA
