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 (1). As part of this industry, we are aware of the impact of our activities on the environment.

Over 80 % of our footprint is caused by the products we sell. Less than 5 % is attributable to our stores, offices and logistics. We are working to avoid or reduce emissions in order to minimise negative effects on the environment.

The most important steps include switching to lower-emission materials, renewable energies and increased energy efficiency in our partners' production facilities and in our own buildings. This includes the use of green electricity and the expansion of LED lighting, photovoltaic systems and heating systems without fossil fuels.

We are also focussing on gaining more transparency regarding our impact on water resources, biodiversity and environmental pollution. This enables us to take targeted measures to protect natural resources.
