Sustainability
People
Through six clear pillars—Our Values, Our Performance, Our Health & Wellbeing, Our Rewards & Recognition, Our Community, and Our Journey—we’re shaping a workplace where inclusion is championed, learning is encouraged, and shared success is driven by shared values.
But our commitment goes beyond our own teams. Under our People pillar, we’re focused on fairness, dignity, and respect across our global supply chains. We prioritise regular SMETA human rights audits in high-risk Tier 1 sites to safeguard workers, ensure ethical standards are met, and act swiftly if issues arise. It’s all part of building a responsible, transparent supply chain—because wherever they are in the world, people matter.
People Excellence
At Princes, People Excellence is part of who we are. We’re creating a culture where everyone belongs, every colleague matters, and success is shared.
Our long-term strategy, Our Princes – Our People, evolves with our business and is built on six pillars: Values, Performance, Health & Wellbeing, Rewards, Community, and Journey. Together, they shape an environment where colleagues perform with pride.
We want Princes to be a place where learning thrives, inclusion is championed, and people feel proud to be part of something bigger.

Colleague Heath & Wellbeing
At Princes, wellbeing matters. We take a holistic approach built on three pillars — physical, emotional, and financial health — to support our global workforce.
This year, we launched our Global Wellbeing Hub, giving colleagues instant access to resources on mental health, nutrition, financial planning, and more — anytime, anywhere.
One example is Cancer Support at Princes, offering clear, compassionate guidance for those affected by cancer, with tailored advice for colleagues and line managers.

Inclusion & Diversity
Inclusion is part of who we are. At Princes, we’re building a workplace where every colleague feels valued and diverse perspectives drive innovation.
Our Inclusion & Diversity 2.0 strategy brings this to life through our Inclusion Committee and Colleague Resource Groups (CRGs), which champion collaboration and meaningful change.
One example: our Social Mobility CRG partnered with One Million Mentors to support sixth-form students with mentoring and career insights.

Learning & Development
At Princes, we give every colleague the chance to grow and succeed through a flexible, blended approach that fits individual needs.
Our digital platform, Pathways, is central to this, with engagement rising sharply in 2024 — reflecting our culture of curiosity and development.
Highlights include:
- Manufacturing Your Success: a leadership programme now rolling out across all sites
- Thousands of colleagues joining Coffee Bites webinars on topics like empathy and feedback
- Over 9,000 hours invested in professional qualifications through Graduate and Apprenticeship programs
