At Peelerie, we are committed to driving meaningful growth by setting ambitious standards for our partners and suppliers while fostering a positive social impact in the communities we serve.

Why It Matters

Operating in a globally connected market allows us to extend our positive influence beyond the scope of our business. Peelerie’s social impact initiatives and philanthropic efforts are deeply intertwined. Together with our customers, we aim to support causes and organizations that empower women and underrepresented groups, making a difference where it’s needed most.

Focus Area #1

We aim to collaborate with partners and vendors who share Peelerie’s dedication to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) values.

Methodology

• Percentage of key vendors and partners committed to Peelerie’s DEIB principles.
• Percentage of key vendors and partners demonstrating measurable progress against DEIB benchmarks.

October 2024 Update
Since setting this goal, we’ve been developing a robust DEIB framework to share with our suppliers and partners by the end of Q4. This framework will outline clear expectations for representation and inclusion, focusing on historically excluded communities.

Recognizing that setting standards is only the beginning, we’re dedicated to supporting our partners through resources and training programs designed to overcome challenges and achieve these shared objectives.

Focus Area #2

Our goal is to ensure our storefronts, corporate spaces, and fulfillment centers make meaningful contributions to the communities where we operate.

These kits, along with handmade bookmarks, were donated to local nonprofits to make learning more inclusive. This year, our team members collectively dedicated 110 hours to volunteering efforts, positively impacting 290 community members.

At Peelerie, we are dedicated to cultivating an authentic and connected community where every member shapes our collective culture while focusing on personal and professional growth

Why It Matters

Meaningful progress begins with active listening. We are committed to ensuring that every voice at Peelerie is valued and heard. By engaging more deeply with our team members, we’ve gained insights that not only help us better support them but also refine our broader strategies to align with their needs and aspirations.

Focus Area #1

We aim to ensure that everyone at Peelerie embraces our values and actively contributes to building a culture of inclusion.

Methodology

• Percentage of team members who self-report feeling that Peelerie fosters an inclusive environment.

October 2024 Update
Since introducing this initiative, we’ve adopted several tools to ensure that team members feel valued and supported in their professional journeys. Our People Operations team leads the charge in inclusivity efforts by conducting regular pulse surveys and informal check-ins to gather feedback.

We are currently assessing and refining our strategies for measuring inclusivity to better align with our goals. Updates on this progress will be shared in our next report.

Focus Area #2

We seek to enhance and diversify Peelerie’s talent pipeline by forming partnerships to attract and support a wide range of talent from application to hire.

October 2024 Update
We have focused on gathering demographic and performance data to establish benchmarks for our diversity metrics.

In addition to setting measurable goals, we are actively implementing policies to reduce bias and ensure equitable support for all team members. Clear performance standards and tailored support for equity-seeking groups are central to this approach.

We will report annually on the diversity of our workforce across race, ethnicity, and gender identity, with updates included in our Sustainability Report each spring.

Focus Area #3

We are committed to fostering meaningful internal connections and supporting employees as they grow their skills and advance in their careers.

Tracking promotion and retention metrics allows us to assess our success in building a workplace that fosters meaningful career opportunities. These insights will be shared annually in our Sustainability Reports.
