take great pride in this achievement and acknowledge that

navigate in our endeavor to reach our ethical aspirations:

preciousmetals and other materials to the crafting and
marketing of our jewellery.
We believe that corporate social responsibility and our
aspiration to offer high quality and genuine jewellery go
hand in hand. Responsible business practices and social
awareness have always been part of PANDORA’s DNA
and they are virtues whichwe strive to honour in our daily
operations as well as through initiatives that aim at raising
the bar for the jewellery industry.

our stakeholders and not least our customers. Therefore,
PANDORA has a social commitment to supporting
charitable purposes that inspire individuality and improve
the lives of women around theworld”.
