We’re working to support and enhance the lives of the people in our supply chain, starting with those who make our clothes. The workplace can play a valuable role in opening discussions around mental well-being to help remove stigmas and support the improved wellbeing of workers and managers alike. Our My Space programme in India: https://lnkd.in/eSSySWwD, in collaboration with St John’s Medical College, Bangalore: https://lnkd.in/eXCYTmye, is an example of the way that we can drive behavioural change and extend support for mental health to the workers in our supply chain. My Space supports the establishment of basic counselling services in factories to help those struggling with mental health issues by training of selected factory staff by medical professionals from St Johns and engaging with workers and managers to reduce the stigma around talking about mental health.

Five years since the passing of our visionary founder Mr. Arthur Ryan 💙
Today marks the fifth anniversary of the passing my dear friend and our visionary founder Arthur Ryan, or Mr. Ryan, as he was known to most. Arthur instilled in Primark a passion for people, an obsession with product, and a commitment to staying true to who we are as a brand, and these are still seen and felt throughout the business every day. After retiring as CEO in 2009, he continued as our Chairman and remained as passionate about the Primark business as he was when I first met him. Since his passing, we have continued to grow and evolve, and I have no doubt he would be unbelievably proud of where we are today. If he were here, he would remind us to always remember who we are, challenge ourselves to be the best we can be, push boundaries and never be complacent or satisfied. These remain guiding principles at Primark today and I often stop and ask myself “what would Arthur do?”. An inspiration to so many and a true retail pioneer, Arthur is still very much missed today.

We’re thrilled to join The Fashion Remodel, an Ellen MacArthur Foundation project that explores scaling circular business models and exploring ways that clothes can be kept in circulation for longer. Through this project we will continue to build on approaches to become a more circular business and work in partnership with project participants like H&M, Arc'teryx and others to find solutions to enable a circular economy in fashion. At Primark we truly believe that we can use our scale to deliver real change for the industry and we’re excited to get started. #PrimarkCares #CircularFashion #TheFashionRemodel
Meet the participants of The Fashion ReModel. Zalando, H&M Group, Primark, and Arc'teryx are among the first participants of our latest fashion demonstration project, embarking on the journey to reinvent our current wasteful linear system. ⬇️ The project aims to unlock barriers in order to scale circular business models and begin to decouple revenue from production. 🔮 Following the progress made in The Jeans Redesign 2019 - 2023, we explore how we can move from redesigning products to redesigning the system, and forge a path towards a more resilient future, where the fashion industry has a new way of doing business. It’s time to make circular business models the norm. Explore the project here: https://lnkd.in/epDBMWdS #TheFashionRemodel #CircularEconomy

We just can’t wait for this one... to celebrate 30 years of Disney’s The Lion King (yes it’s been 30 years!) Primark has teamed up with Disney to launch a collection of clothing and accessories. In a first for Primark in collaboration with Disney’s The Lion King, all the clothing in the collection is made using recycled or more sustainably sourced materials. More about these materials is available here: https://lnkd.in/eAGk5cZa A selection of products in the collection are also designed to be reloved or recycled into new fibres or products. This means that, where possible, trims and buttons can be removed so the items can be more easily reused or recycled into new fibres or new products. We have all the feels with this video, showing how you can love your clothes for longer by passing on those special memories to family and friends, continuing your story. https://lnkd.in/edsW5dMG #Loveitforlonger #Disney #TheLionKing #PrimarkCares

Primark reposted this
Absolutely delighted to share the news that over 425 Department Managers in the UK have now been through our new “My Leadership Impact” programme, which means we are halfway to our goal of all 950 attending the programme this year. “My Leadership Impact” has been designed specifically for our Department Managers, who play a key role in creating great experiences for both our colleagues and customers, helping them to reflect on their leadership impact, develop their management skillset and build new relationships. The programme doesn’t stop here though… by the end of 2024, over 2000 Department Managers across 14 of our markets globally (in 14 different languages) will have attended. This is such an important initiative for us and we continue to prioritise investment in our people and ensure we are creating a culture at Primark that we are truly proud of. I’m so thankful for all the colleagues who have played a part in the design and delivery of this programme – a brilliant team effort! I’m also very proud of all our Department Managers for their amazing positivity in making the most of the experience and for continuing to make Primark, Primark. #investinginourpeople #maximumjoy #caring #dynamic #together
