P&C* is a place of diversity, team spirit, and creativity. As an internationally operating family business with around 16,000 employees from approximately 130 nations, it is above all the people who define us. We create an inspiring work environment with plenty of space for personal development and collaboration.

Our DE&I strategy – short for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion – embeds diversity, equal opportunity, and inclusion into our corporate culture. All employees should feel fully supported and empowered to reach their full potential.

However, our responsibility does not stop at the boundaries of our company. Throughout our entire supply chain, fairness, social responsibility, and integrity are key priorities. We carefully select our suppliers, maintain long-term business relationships, and communicate our binding policies clearly.

The fashion industry is responsible for around 10% of global CO₂ emissions. As part of this industry, we are fully aware of the environmental impact of our business. To help protect the planet, we focus on conserving resources and avoiding and reducing emissions – from production and packaging to our stores and logistics.

A key element of our climate strategy is reducing energy consumption in our retail stores, office buildings, and logistics centers. By using green electricity, LED lighting, photovoltaic systems, and efficient logistics, we are able to lower a portion of our emissions.

Our logistics center in Bedburg sets a new standard in this regard: it was built according to KfW 55 standards and the DGNB “Gold” certification standard, and it operates exclusively on biogas.
