This strategic collaboration positions Prada as a prominent participant in the world’s largest corporate sustainability movement, emphasizing responsible development, implementation, and transparent disclosure.
The UN Global Compact sets a global standard, urging companies worldwide to synchronize their operations with ten universally recognized principles covering human rights, labor standards, environmental stewardship, and anti-corruption measures. Furthermore, it encourages active support for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact boasts an extensive network of over 15,000 companies and 3,000 non-business signatories across 160 countries, complemented by 70 local networks, as highlighted in Prada’s official press release.

This commitment aims to create lasting value for the global community, contributing to the realization of the future we collectively aspire to build.
