Levi Strauss
Haas sought to strengthen Levi Strauss &amp; Co.’s position as a socially responsible international corporation. During the 1950s, Haas, along with his brother, Peter E. Haas, oversaw racial integration of the company’s plants. He also led the creation of Community Involvement Teams for Levi Strauss &amp; Co. employees. Haas served on the boards of the Ford Foundation and the National Park Foundation while leading Levi Strauss &amp; Co. He was also involved in other nonprofit institutions such as the Hunter’s Point Boys’ Club and the San Francisco Chronicle’s Season of Sharing Fund.
