The 5 pillars of PRG sustainability strategy
Valuing our people
implementing a welfare system for PRG’s employees, with particular attention to their growth and training as well as their engagement.
Making Good Products
in terms of design, use of raw materials, quality control, packaging, and end-of-life management.
Supporting a responsible value chain
monitoring suppliers’ environmental and social performance, being sure that workers’ rights are safeguarded, and the environmental aspects of production are monitored to understand how to minimize the impacts.
Growing Responsibly
is directed at customers, with the aim of guiding them towards more informed buying choices, and towards children, raising their awareness on sustainability topics.
Mitigating the climate change
monitoring trends in GHG emissions over different years and identifying reduction activities, in view to achieve carbon neutrality.
With Generazione G, we want to take action to boost birth rates, supporting MOIGE with a fundraising campaign for new parents. Prénatal, together with the brands of PRG Retail Group, Toys Center, Bimbostore, and FAO Schwarz, has decided to care for families in need and commit to providing them with support to help them face the parenting journey in the best possible way.
In 2023, PRG Spa (Toys Center, Bimbostore and FAO Schwarz) and Prénatal Spa received the Gender Equality Certification based on the UNI/PdR 125:2022 practice from KIWA Cermet, highlighting its commitment to an inclusive work environment. PRG Retail Group is among the first Italian retail companies certified for its commitment to empowering women, aligned with Goal 5 of the 2030.
The Toys product team has continued its work on offering products made with more sustainable materials. In particular, the Wood’N Play collection, in FSC certified wood, and the Baby Smile line, with at least 50% recycled material and GRS certified, represent the key sustainability principles that PRG is committed to. PRG Retail Group, as a member of Better Cotton, the world’s leading cotton sustainability program, sources over 50% of its cotton from Better Cotton.
King Jouet is committed to future generations and to supporting parents in their most responsible purchases.
To assist parents in their choices, they developed the Jouet Score, a unique indicator that reflects the environmental impact of toys.
PRG Retail Group’s primary climate mitigation approach is to reduce its absolute carbon emissions over time. Through the purchase of carbon credits, the Group can – under voluntary carbon market standards and guidance – claim it has reached carbon neutrality (Scope 1 and 2) to offset its residual emissions.
PRG Retail Group joined the Confimprese Manifesto for Sustainability in Retail.
