D&I for Partners

We can drive positive change by working with partner brands and retailers that are aligned with our values.

Brands & Retailers

Our partners help make us who we are, and we are fortunate to work with some of the world’s most inspiring brands that are committed to fostering D&I in the wider fashion industry together.

In 2021, we published our do.BETTER strategy, reflecting our commitment to build a company in which respect and inclusive behavior are second nature. The strategy defines 12 Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) commitments around four pillars: talent, leadership, customers, and partners.

Together with our partners, we want to achieve the following milestones by 2025:

  • to offer a truly diverse assortment for underrepresented groups by providing product choices and thoughtful experiences in every category across price, size, and style
  • to be the European e-commerce partner of choice for brands and retailers that serve or stem from underrepresented groups.
  • to be a central collaboration point in fashion, bringing together brands, retailers, NGOs, academia, community thought-leaders, and members of the media to systematically empower and amplify underrepresented voices in the industry.
     

As we work to make Zalando welcoming to everyone, we are proud of the progress we have made and are excited about our plans for the future. Our work over the past year has energised us even more to make decisions that will boost D&I at Zalando and across the industry. We are committed to the cause and we want to build on the foundations we have laid. We look forward to pursuing these ambitions with passion and continuing to embed Diversity and Inclusion in everything we do.
