Sustainability governance

Our sustainability governance structure ensures that our sustainability programme meets Pandora’s social and environmental ambitions and supports the business.

Sustainability Board

Pandora’s Sustainability Board, which reports to the Executive Leadership Team, oversees the corporate sustainability strategy, which is implemented by the Global Sustainability team.

Structure

The Sustainability Board, chaired by Pandora’s Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO), executes on behalf of the ELT and comprises 11 senior leaders, including five from the ELT. Convening four times a year, the Sustainability Board is responsible for setting the strategy and integrating sustainability into business decisions within their respective functions.

Two subject-specific committees (the Responsible Sourcing Committee and the Responsible Marketing Committee, along with the CSRD Task Force) convene regularly and report to the Sustainability Board.

Responsible Sourcing Committee

The Responsible Sourcing Committee (RSC) advises on sustainability-related supply chain governance. This seven-member committee oversees the implementation of the Responsible Sourcing Policy and Programme, reviews and recommends approaches for the use of new materials, and advises on specific supplier relationships on a case-by-case basis. The RSC is co-chaired by the VP Supply Chain and VP Corporate Sustainability, meets twice a year and reports to the Sustainability Board.
