UNIQLO offers heartfelt sympathies to everyone affected by the large-scale wildfires in the Gironde and Var departments of France. The company would also like to acknowledge those working tirelessly on firefighting and rescue efforts, and sincerely hopes for the safety of all those impacted and for the swift recovery and reconstruction of the affected communities. As part of its emergency relief efforts, UNIQLO EUROPE LTD., a member of the Fast Retailing Group, will donate a total of one million euro to support those affected by the wildfires.
The donations will be made to Secours populaire français, which provides assistance and recovery support to disaster victims, and Sud-Ouest Solidarité, which supports firefighting operations through the provision of advanced firefighting robots, fire-monitoring drones, and medical support vehicles. In addition, UNIQLO will donate 50,000 items of clothing to help those affected by the disaster.
Additionally, donations collected from customers at UNIQLO stores across France will be contributed to the French Red Cross. UNIQLO EUROPE LTD, will match customer donations with an equivalent contribution, and these funds will be used to support firefighters and address urgent needs in the affected areas.
As a result of the wildfires, tens of thousands of residents have been forced to evacuate, and vast natural landscapes have been destroyed. In response to these severe circumstances, UNIQLO is committed to providing tangible support to organizations carrying out emergency response and relief activities on the ground.
