A fluid perspective that becomes the Group’s manifesto, suggesting a unique approach to doing business by placing at the core of ethical and action principles essential values such as freedom of creative expression, reinterpretation of what already exists, preservation of know-how and enhancement of people’s work. The Prada Group is a contemporary interpreter of changing scenarios. In a three- dimensional temporal dialogue that combines the identity heritage of the past with demands and dynamics of the present and future perspectives, creativity molds ideas that transcend the boundaries of the ordinary and create an innovative vision of tomorrow. “Thorough observation and curiosity for the world around us have always been at the heart of the creativity and modernity of the Prada Group. In society, and thus in fashion, which is somehow a reflection of it, the only constant is change. The transformation and innovation of references, at the core of any evolution, has led us to interact with different cultural disciplines, at times apparently far from our own, allowing us to capture and anticipate the spirit of the times.

  • 2013 Sustainability Report Introduction
    2013 sustainability report introduction our vision for the 34th america’s cup was to deliver a model sustainable sporting event. The America’s Cup is the world’s premier sailing race, and the oldest trophy in international sport, predating the modern Olympic Games by 45 years. The America’s Cup is named after the schooner America, which won a race around the Isle of Wight on August 22, 1851, against a fleet of British yachts. Four nations have won the America’s Cup in its 162-year history: the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland. ORACLE TEAM USA won the 33RD America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, in February 2010, and selected San Francisco as the host city for the 34TH America’s Cup. ORACLE TEAM USA, representing the Golden Gate Yacht Club, won the 33RD America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, in February 2010, and the Golden Gate Yacht Club selected San Francisco as the host city for the 34TH America’s Cup. The America’s Cup Event Authority (“ACEA”) aspired to implement best practice standards in delivering a sustainable 34TH America’s Cup event in San Francisco. Our vision was to deliver a model sustainable sporting event and to leave a positive legacy in the community and on the sport of sailing. ACEA published the 34TH America’s Cup Sustainability Plan 1 (“Sustainability Plan”) in March 2012, outlining our approach to delivering sustainable event activities in San Francisco. We pledged to understand our impacts, reduce potentially negative impacts as far as possible, and maximize legacy benefits. Since that time, ACEA has monitored and tracked the event’s performance and progress in order to inform stakeholders and the public about activities and achievements, and provide transparent reporting on event activities in San Francisco.
