Caring about people

Our projects for the local communities close to our HQ

Our community engagement involves identifying and supporting those who need help in all the locations we operate in – including those close to our HQ in Belgium. That’s why we decided to partner with three Brussels-based associations that support refugees, migrants, homeless people and asylum seekers: BXL Refugees, Convivial, and Solidarité Grands Froids. During the first quarter of 2023, we donated around 11,000 garments to these associations. We will continue to develop our partnerships through donations as well as through employee volunteering and other activities. In early 2023, we also supported earthquake victims in the Turkish villages close to where we source our organic cotton, both financially and by donating garments. In addition, to further instil circularity in how we operate, we are liaising with Circular.brussels so our old computers can be refurbished and distributed to local schools and philanthropic organisations.
