PICCADILLY Sustainability Actions

Reached Diamond certification

Piccadilly was reported to have moved from the Basic level to the Diamond level in the Sustainable Origin program, which is described as the highest level in that footwear sustainability scheme. The article says this level was reached because the company met more than 80% of the program’s indicators. It points to work across environmental management, process review, waste reduction, and circular economy ideas, which means keeping materials in use for longer instead of throwing them away.

Zero landfill since 2013

The company says it has not sent industrial waste to landfill since 2013. The source also says both of its plants follow a zero-waste production policy. In plain terms, that means it tries to reuse, recycle, or treat waste instead of burying it in landfill. The article links this to ongoing investment in waste handling and recycling systems for factory waste, which is a major issue in shoe manufacturing.

Cut animal leather from production

Piccadilly says it banned leather from its production in 2008. The source describes the company as one of the larger footwear makers producing without animal products. This is relevant for people who avoid animal-derived materials in clothing and shoes. The same material also says the company has used recycled inputs in newer footwear lines, including recycled PET bottles and recycled yarn from the textile industry.

Published first emissions inventory

In 2020, Piccadilly released its first greenhouse gas inventory, which is a count of the gases that warm the planet, such as carbon dioxide. The company says this was the first step in a larger effort to reduce the climate impact of its business. The source also says that by buying energy from the free market, the company avoided more than 129,000 tons of CO2 in that year, according to its own reporting.

Expanded recycled materials use

The company says it uses repurposed materials in production, including recycled insoles and repurposed counters. The source says more than 60,000 pairs of shoes were made with repurposed counters in one year, and recycled insoles were used in more than 340,000 pairs. It also says the So.Si Ecoar sneakers use recycled PET bottles and recycled yarn. This shows a focus on using waste materials again instead of relying only on new raw materials.

Donated goods during the pandemic

Piccadilly launched the Revelar Movement in 2020 and used it to donate protective masks, gloves, food, and shoes during the pandemic. The donations went to health workers, teachers, and older people in the regions where it operates. This is a social action rather than an environmental one, but it still fits ESG because it shows support for local communities during a crisis.

Uses FSC-certified packaging

The company says all of its packaging is certified by the FSC seal, which stands for Forest Stewardship Council and means the paper or cardboard comes from responsibly managed forests. This is a product and packaging step, not a full company-wide certification. It suggests the brand is trying to reduce harm from packaging materials and improve traceability in its supply chain.
