PRESS RELEASE
In its 2026 Global 100 ranking, research company Corporate Knights has named Pandora the world's most sustainable consumer brand. Pandora places second overall among more than 8,000 assessed companies, underlining its position as a global sustainability leader.
The recognition reflects Pandora's transformation towards recycled materials and renewable energy. In their analysis, Corporate Knights highlights Pandora's use of 100% recycled silver and gold in all jewellery, its shift to lab‑grown diamonds, and its ability to grow profitably while reducing CO₂ emissions. Pandora crafts all jewellery using 100% renewable electricity and has decoupled economic growth and emissions. Since 2019, the company's revenue has grown 49% while its total CO₂ emissions have been reduced by 17%.
"We are proud to be among the world's most sustainable companies. By spearheading recycling and innovative materials, we have been able to grow our business while bringing down our environmental footprint," said Pandora CEO Berta de Pablos-Barbier. "We will continue to transform the way we craft our jewellery and reduce our impact on the planet - this is part of futureproofing Pandora."
The Corporate Knights Global 100 index is an annual ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations across all sectors. It evaluates publicly traded companies with more than USD 1 billion in revenue on a wide range of metrics, including climate action, resource efficiency, and social responsibility. Pandora ranks number one among 1,476 companies in the 'Consumer Discretionary' sector and number two across all sectors.
This is Pandora's second appearance on the Global 100. In 2025, the company ranked number 48. Since 2021, Pandora has used exclusively lab-grown diamonds in its jewellery, and in 2024 the company completed its shift to use 100% recycled silver and gold. The milestone was the culmination of several years' work by over 100 employees.

CORPORATE KNIGHTS: RATIONALE FOR PANDORA'S RANKING Corporate Knights summarises Pandora's ranking as follows:
"Copenhagen-based jewellery maker Pandora took second place, reflecting its decision to go all‑in on manufacturing using 100% recycled silver and gold, as well as lab‑grown diamonds produced with renewable energy. Pandora scored 100% - a percentile rank reflecting performance relative to its sectoral peers - on each of the three equally weighted metrics: proportion of total revenues classified as sustainable, proportion of total investments classified as sustainable, and 'sustainable revenue momentum' (defined as the annualised growth in sustainable revenue from 2022 to 2024). Pandora also secured an additional bonus score based on a 'sustainability pay link', meaning a connection between CEO compensation and the achievement of sustainability targets. Finally, Pandora incurred no deductions for fines, sanctions, or fatalities."
