Fashion with Purpose – PGP Aligning with the UNDP Sustainable Development Goals
At Pia Gladys Perey, we believe fashion can be a powerful tool for positive change. Driven by a commitment to the UNDP’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), our company actively integrates practices that support Responsible Consumption and Production, Gender Equality, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Sustainable Communities, and No Poverty. Recently, our founder’s participation in a UNDP SDG seminar reinforced our dedication to these goals, guiding us toward meaningful contributions to global sustainability.
Responsible Consumption and Production
We design our collections to minimize waste, using durable, machine-washable materials and sustainable production practices. By donating leftover fabrics to a women’s group, we reduce waste while empowering artisans to create accessories and clothing they can sell, furthering a circular economy and helping reduce poverty.
Gender Equality and Economic Growth
We’re committed to empowering women by supporting initiatives that foster economic independence. Donating fabrics to women’s groups enables artisans to develop income streams, aligning with both gender equality and economic growth. Our business practices prioritize equal opportunity and fair wages, championing gender equity at every level of our operations.
No Poverty and Sustainable Communities
Our commitment to poverty alleviation is reflected in our partnerships with community groups that benefit from our fabric donations. By providing resources for small businesses, we help support livelihoods, foster sustainable communities, and encourage economic development in underserved areas.
Through these initiatives, Pia Gladys Perey aims to create a sustainable fashion brand that values people, the planet, and a more inclusive global economy. We are dedicated to fashion that not only looks good but does good, making every piece a step toward a brighter future.
