Sustainability

Pranda uses a reverse osmosis water filtration system to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from tap water production and plans to implement solar panels to reduce non-renewable energy consumption. The waste management department also works to reduce food waste headed to landfills and in order to reduce single-use plastic usage, we offer biodegradable polybag options for packaging.

The company aims to reduce GHG emissions to 15% BAU (business as usual in 2021) by 2024 and 25% BAU by 2030, with the ultimate goal of net zero emissions by 2050.

As a certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), Pranda provides options for certified recycled metals, including silver and gold, while repurposing gemstones and other raw materials. We have also established a “Waste Bank” for recycling other waste materials and equipment wherever possible.

Family Institution – Pranda treats its employees lie real people, with families and futures. Working parents can feel at ease knowing they can leave their little ones at our Preschool Child Development Centre, and career-oriented employees will find plenty of opportunities for training at Pranda.

Welfare – It’s easier to bear financial burdens together. Pranda offers several facilities, including a subsidised canteen for affordable, clean, and nutritious food and affordable accommodations that include sports facilities, park, medical centre, and library to help shoulder employees’ living expenses. Pranda employees can also participate in our savings & credit cooperatives, which encourage savings, manage debt, and provide financial assistance.

Our belief in taking care of the Pranda family also means fostering a safe and inclusive work environment that promotes the employment of persons with disabilities, does not discriminate against LGBTQ+ professionals, and empowers women to excel at every level of the corporate hierarchy. We provide nursing rooms, support groups, and seminars for new mothers, helping women to balance career and family. Women currently make up over 80% of all employees, including at the management level.

As a leader in ethical & sustainable jewellery, Pranda has supported underprivileged youths to explore careers in the gems & jewellery industry for over 21 years through our Dual Vocation Project, partnering with the Kanchanapisek College Royal Goldsmith, Bangkok Arts and Crafts College, and Suranaree Technical College under the Department of Vocational Education, Ministry of Education. Through this project, we also hope to preserve our knowledge of the jewellery craft in the generations to come.

Green Environment – Working conditions are an important part of physical and mental wellbeing, so Pranda provides green landscapes for employees to enjoy, both indoors and outdoors.
