New year ahead!

Christmas carols, streets all lit up, red and green shop windows, a time for reflection and deliberation. The end of the year is upon us and surprises us all…Winter starts and so does 2012.

At Pikolinos we are still eagerly preparing the new season, thinking of those sandals that you will wear on your next summer holidays, the shoes that you will show off when the cold has gone away and the spring arrives with the first flowers in bud.

2011 has been a year full of progress. Pikolinos was nominated as the most Sustainable brand for the Global Fashion Awards and we attended the gala that was held at Gotham Hall in New York. This was thanks to our work with the Maasai Community; everyone was very surprised at how a Spanish company managed to organise and run a project like this, in the heart of Africa, where no other company had ever been before. It is something we are very proud of.

Another positive point for Pikolinos has been its adherence to the United Nations Global Compact which makes it the first organisation from the shoe sector to have supported this initiative; once again it’s a pioneer in social policy and sustainability.

Internally Pikolinos has kept up its motivating spirit within its professional structure by organising training workshops to enhance the values and the skills of its employees. Extremely valuable training that has been used to update concepts such as emotional intelligence, empathy, proactivity, assertiveness, leadership, team work and active listening to broaden the outlook of each and one of our worker’s personal development.

And with these tiny strokes of colour we close 2011, with many more projects in mind, in the hope that we can carry on working to provide the comfort of the best footwear, the exclusiveness of the best service and the predisposition to continue on our way to creating a great brand. Thank you for being with us!
