𝗠𝗬 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗬. 𝗠𝗬 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗘 – 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵! 🏳🌈 #PrideMonth is about promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. These values are deeply rooted in our DNA and shape our daily business. At DOUGLAS Group, we encourage everyone to be the way they want to be and express their individuality. That’s why we are celebrating Pride Month with our customers and employees to take a stand against discrimination and for the inclusion of the LGBTQIA+ community – both through external campaigns and internal formats. With this year’s Pride campaign, we are giving the community a stage and showing that beauty can be a means of feeling empowered and expressing your uniqueness. We depict Pride with portraits of our beautiful and diverse LGBTQIA+ cast: bold, proud, joyful, colorful, and strong. To honor past and present icons who have pushed boundaries and paved the way for today’s Pride movement, we will be hosting an event later this month with the theme “Be inspired by the past to inspire the future” – stay tuned! Also at our headquarters in Düsseldorf, we celebrate diversity. At last week’s internal Pride event, employees had the opportunity to discover community-supporting brands like JOOP, Morphe, or DOUGLAS Collection and learn more about our employee network "beYOUtiful", which connects colleagues from the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies. The day was topped off with an internal Pride after-work party. We are proud of our diverse, inclusive, and inspiring #TeamDOUGLAS – our greatest strength!🌈💪 #MakeLifeMoreBeautiful #Pride #MyBeautyMyPride

🌊 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗢𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗟𝗔𝗦 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵! 🌊 As we mark World Ocean Day tomorrow, we're proud to shine a light on our partnership with Plastic Bank. For the third year in a row, we have been working with the social enterprise, striving to make a meaningful difference in the fight against ocean plastic pollution. Through our collaboration, we aim for a cleaner and healthier ocean ecosystem. In total, the cooperation resulted in the prevention of an equivalent of more than 30 million plastic bottles from entering the ocean. At DOUGLAS, sustainability isn't just a one-day event – it's a continuous journey that we're committed to every day of the year. Our ongoing partnership exemplifies this dedication, as we work towards a future with less plastic waste. In June, for every purchased product from our DOUGLAS Collection online and in our stores, DOUGLAS will support Plastic Bank in saving two plastic bottles from entering the ocean. The DOUGLAS Collection offers a wide variety of products with packaging made from recycled plastic and guaranteeing a high level of recyclability after usage. We will not stand still in the future. Our corporate brands products are constantly being revised, because as a company we are also aiming to take better care of the environment, the oceans and our resources. Let's keep the oceans cleaner together with Plastic Bank! #WorldOceanDay #PlasticBank #DOUGLAS 🌊🌍💙
