Prada Sustainability Actions

Published sustainability reporting

Prada Group says it published its first sustainability report in 2013, before it was required to do so. It also says that by 2015 the report followed the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) Standards, which are common rules for reporting social and environmental data. This shows the company has been reporting on sustainability for more than a decade, even if outside reviewers say the level of detail has often been limited.

Launched Re-Nylon products

In 2019, Prada launched Re-Nylon bags made with regenerated nylon, a material made by recycling plastic waste from landfills, textile fibre waste, and the ocean. The line later expanded into ready-to-wear, accessories, and footwear. Prada says this collection is meant to reduce the need for new resources and support a more circular model, where materials are reused instead of thrown away.

Set climate targets

Prada Group says it measured its carbon footprint for the first time in 2020. In 2021, it presented a climate strategy with science-based targets, meaning goals checked by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a group that reviews whether company climate targets match climate science. The company also says it has reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which are direct emissions and emissions from purchased energy.

Added sustainability governance

Prada Group says it strengthened its internal structure for sustainability in recent years. It created a Sustainability Committee in 2022, appointed an Industrial Sustainability Director in 2023, and published a Suppliers Code of Conduct. A supplier code of conduct is a set of rules that suppliers are expected to follow on issues like labour, ethics, and environmental practice.

Adopted fur-free and animal policies

Prada Group announced a Fur-Free Policy in 2019 for all its brands, starting with Spring/Summer 2020 women’s collections. In 2024, it also adopted an Animal Welfare Policy, which sets guidelines for sourcing animal-based raw materials. This is relevant because Good On You still notes that Prada uses several animal-derived materials, so the policy does not mean the brand has stopped using them altogether.

Joined Fashion Pact

Prada Group says it was among the first signatories of the Fashion Pact in 2019. The Fashion Pact is an industry agreement focused on climate, biodiversity, and oceans. Joining it signals that Prada has taken part in a wider fashion-industry effort, although public reporting still leaves gaps on how much progress it has made in practice.
