We aspire to be a truly low-carbon business, to drive circularity into the core of how our products are designed to their end of life and to be an example of what it means to be inclusive, diverse and fair.
As the world's largest jewellery maker, we are determined to reduce our climate footprint. We are committed to being carbon neutral in our own operations by 2025 and to halving our greenhouse gas emissions in our own operations and across the entire value chain by 2030. Discover our sustainability commitments.
Towards circularity
At Pandora, we are committed to moving further towards circularity in our materials and waste e.g. using silver and gold that can be infinitely recycled.
A low-carbon business
At Pandora, we want to halve our greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and be a net zero business by 2040. We have taken important steps by announcing climate targets approved by the Science Based Target initiative, providing a guarantee that our objectives match our share of the reductions needed to keep global warming below 1.5°C.
Our crafting facilities
Pandora’s crafting facilities in Thailand are among the most modern and energy-efficient in the industry. Our crafting facilities in Thailand account for more than half of our in-house global energy consumption, and in 2020 we switched to 100% renewable energy supplied by on-site solar panels and local solar projects (RECs). At the same time, we are committed to reducing or recycling waste materials and water at our crafting facilities. In 2021, 97% of waste at our crafting facilities was recycled.
Our presence in Thailand
Our crafting facilities in Thailand provide safe and healthy working conditions for over 13,700 employees. We are focused on ensuring our employees have access to proper health services. This includes wellbeing programmes, 24-hour nurse cover, library access, on-site canteens and much more.
Impact through suppliers
We aim to work with suppliers that share our commitment to sustainability, and over the last few years Pandora has taken steps to better align our responsible sourcing programme with our sustainability ambitions. Our category-specific approach to responsible sourcing seeks to continuously improve our performance around three objectives: responsibility, traceability and transparency.
UN Sustainable Development Goals
Pandora supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Five goals in particular guide our work, as these areas are where we have the most impact.
Gender equality
We are committed to advancing inclusion and diversity through our efforts to fulfil the targets in our inclusion and diversity strategy, our Responsible Sourcing Programme, our integration of human rights into company processes and our partnership with UNICEF to support girls’ education and empowerment.
Decent work and economic growth
Across offices, stores and crafting facilities, we strive to provide safe and healthy working conditions for our employees. Through our Responsible Sourcing Programme, we monitor working conditions at our supplier locations.
Responsible consumption and production
We continuously work to reduce our wider environmental footprint, focusing on water usage and waste at our crafting facilities, using recycled raw materials and implementing other circular practices. We are accountable for our actions and publish an annual sustainability report detailing our work towards becoming a low-carbon, circular, inclusive, diverse and fair business.
Climate action
We are aligning our activities with the Paris Agreement by setting a science-based target to limit global warming below a 1.5°C trajectory and by setting a net-zero emissions goal for 2040. We disclose our emissions footprint and help to educate stakeholders on how to reduce our shared footprint
