Five years since the passing of our visionary founder Mr. Arthur Ryan 💙

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

Last week we had our annual Pride event in our Dublin Head Office! 🏳️🌈 This year's event saw performances by the amazing Pixie, Chanel, and Viola! #PrideMonth2024 #Primark

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 

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

Sharing a throwback to last week when our Head of Design, Sinead McDonagh featured on ITV’s This Morning show live with Cat Deeley and Ben Shepard to showcase this summer’s must-have garden furniture and our statement pieces available now at Primark Home.   We hope you love our alfresco dining experience as much as we do, with pops of bright fresh colours that really help maximise the personality on your table.

Today we published our fourth volume of the Penneys Pulse of the Nation Index which explores the topic of sustainability - what it means to consumers in Ireland and how it’s influencing their lifestyles and spending habits. In partnership with Amárach Research, our report highlights a confused consumer who wants to do the right thing, but won’t pay more to do so. As always, we shine a light inside Penneys to showcase how this is reflected in our customers’ spending habits, and the initiatives we have in place across our business and store network.   We also recently held a panel discussion in Primark’s Dublin HQ, with special guest Minister of State, with responsibility for the Circular Economy, Ossian Smyth where we previewed the research findings and encouraged open discussion on consumer behaviours towards sustainability as well as the broader challenges facing the fashion retail industry in this space.   The conversation was hosted by Claire Taaffe alongside Lynne Walker Director of Primark Cares and Gerard O'Neill, Chairman of Amárach and we were joined by members of government, industry and NGOs. Thanks to everyone who took part.   Check out the full findings of the Index on our website: https://lnkd.in/eScaJZ6D     #Penneys #PulseoftheNation #Primark
