Protecting the environment and its biodiversity is a fundamental element of Prada Group’s growth strategy, contributing to the future availability of the resource itself and consolidating the robustness and resilience of its supply chain. As such, addressing the potential impact of raw material sourcing from the design phase onwards is a key focus for the Group.
MAIN RAW MATERIALS
Prada Group is committed to sourcing and managing raw materials with a comprehensive approach that emphasizes not only the intrinsic value and high quality of the materials used, but also their origin and the ethical and sustainable manufacturing processes they undergo
Materials purchased for finished products in 2024
The Group has reinforced its responsible sourcing also through the implementation of an Animal Welfare Policy.

LEATHER
Lower impact solutions
Leather purchased from either LWG certified/ audited or ICEC certified suppliers
84%
2022 baseline
90%
2024
95%
2026 target year
Leather is one of the most important raw materials, accounting for 43% of the materials purchased in 2024 for finished products by Prada Group, which is committed to sourcing the highest quality leather in compliance with the standards and certifications set out in its Restricted Substances List (RSL).
The Group is also working to improve the traceability of its leather supply chain, with the aim of gathering comprehensive information on the entire process, from farm to finished product.
The Group recognizes that the processing phases of leather involve significant water consumption, chemical use and a potential risk of human rights violations, and that information on the origin of hides and skins is also crucial to the preservation of biodiversity and the elimination of the risk of deforestation.

NYLON AND POLYESTER
Lower impact solutions
Nylon and polyester purchased from recycled or bio-based sources
37%
2022 baseline
52%

80%
2026 target year
Prada Group offers its clients a significant range of products made of alternatives to nature-based materials. In 2024, nylon and polyester accounted for 14% of the Group's total procurement, with a transition to a recycled offer over the years.
The Group was a pioneer in the use of recycled synthetic materials launching in 2019 Prada Re-Nylon Collection, made entirely from nylon regenerated by recycling plastics collected worldwide from landfills, textile fiber waste and the ocean.
In 2024, Prada also signed the Microfibre 2030 Commitment.

Cotton purchased from certified, recycled or regenerative agriculture sources
36%
2022 baseline
45%
2024
70%
2026 target year
Cotton is the Group’s main natural raw material, accounting for almost 12% of total purchases in 2024. The Group relies on certifications to mitigate potential negative impacts associated with cotton sourcing, with 45% of its cotton purchases having at least one of the following certification: GOTS, OCS, BCI or GRS.

VISCOSE
Lower impact solutions
Viscose purchased with FSC certification or recycled
24%
2022 baseline
49%
2024
100%
2026 target year
Manmade cellulosic materials can have significant environmental impacts due to the intensive chemical processes involved in their production, such as the use of solvents and bleaching agents. In addition, viscose production is closely linked to deforestation due to the extraction of wood pulp from trees, mainly hardwood and softwood species, which are cleared for cellulose production. This process leads to habitat loss and biodiversity degradation. To address these negative impacts, the Group has set a target to achieve 100% FSC-certified or recycled viscose by 2026.
