==Biography==
Haas was born to a Jewish family in San Francisco,〔 one of three children of Walter A. Haas and Elise Stern.〔(Businesswire: "Peter E. Haas, Sr., Former CEO of Levi Strauss & Co., Dies at Age 86" ) December 04, 2005〕 Haas was the great-grandnephew of Levi Strauss, the founder of denim manufacturer Levi Strauss & Co. He attended the Deerfield Academy preparatory school in Massachusetts.〔 In 1940, he graduated from University of California, Berkeley with a bachelor's degree in economics.〔 After school, he went to work for an advertising agency in San Francisco.〔 He was rejected by the military because of poor eyesight.〔(New York Times: "Peter Haas, 86, Executive During Levi Strauss Heyday, Dies" By WOLFGANG SAXON ) December 6, 2005〕 In 1943, he graduated cum laude as a Baker Scholar from the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration〔 and then worked as a welder until the end of World War II.〔 After the war, he went to work for the family company, Levi Strauss & Co, with his older brother, Walter A. Haas Jr. Under his tenure, the Levi Strauss Company became one of the first American clothing companies to racially integrate its workforce in the South prior to the U.S. civil rights movement.〔 Haas served as president and member of the board of directors from 1970 to 1981. In 1976, he became president and chief executive officer, and from 1981 until 1989, he was chairman of the board. From 1989 until his death, he was chairman of the company's executive committee.〔
From 1966 to 1975 and from 1994 to 1997, he served as a trustee for the UC Berkeley Foundation.〔 Due to the fact that his son Michael was developmentally disabled, Haas was a strong supporter of San Francisco Aid for Retarded Children.〔 Haas served as president of the Jewish Welfare Federation (later known as the Jewish Community Federation), which his grandfather, Abraham Haas, had helped to organize, from 1976 to 1978.〔
