Prada Group’s Valuable 500 Commitment:
Diversity, an essential element of social sustainability, is a fundamental value for the Prada Group. The enhancement of all differences is to be meant as a premise for creating the ground of an inclusive work environment that allows people to express their potential. It is with this spirit that at the end of 2020, the Prada Group was the first luxury fashion player to join the Valuable 500 community dedicated to radically transforming the business system for the benefit of people with disabilities.
Prada strongly recognizes the intrinsic value of people who are disabled and commits to supporting all within its inclusion and sustainability agenda.
The company is currently exploring different opportunities to define a long-term program of activities which will start in the second half of 2021 with a commitment to hire individuals affected by trisomy 21 (Down’s syndrome) into its Italian retail network.
The Valuable 500 community, which embraces a wide range of industries worldwide, is becoming stronger every day. I actively support the decision to join the coalition as I believe strongly in the value of diversity, equity and inclusion. The different backgrounds of the companies adhering to the alliance is a crucial starting point to build a comprehensive global action plan, which will enrich all of us.
