Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Mattel, Inc.
Mattel's sustainability strategy is focused on helping the company minimize its footprint throughout the value chain and across the organization, and emphasizes the importance of personal commitment in business as well as everyday actions.
First, by "designing it" with the end in mind, Mattel is focused on exploring opportunities for sustainability in the design of products and packaging; "making it" with eco-efficiencies that allow the company to identify opportunities to reduce environmental impacts through the manufacturing and distribution of its products; and by "living it" with personal commitment through employee-inspired grassroots initiatives.
Bongiovanni, who oversees Mattel's sustainability initiatives, went on to say: "In line with our long-held practice of transparency, we will continue to communicate with interested stakeholders on our progress in this important area."
As the world’s largest toy company, Mattel is the expert in play and we believe play is fundamental to learning and development at all ages. We believe all children have a right to the time, place, tools and an advocate for play in their lives.
Unfortunately, we know not all children have access to play. That’s why Mattel focuses our social impact activities on breaking down the barriers to play by leveraging the collective power of our global resources. Through funding, our dedicated employee volunteers, toy donations, cause marketing campaigns and community partners, Mattel is committed to dedicating 2 percent of its pretax profit to making a difference in the lives of children in need.
