Ocean Conservation Project: UNIQLO, Indonesia Contribution to ASEAN Heritage Parks, Wakatobi Island UNIQLO, Indonesia has conducted an Ocean Conservation Project at Wakatobi Island, Southeast Sulawesi, on 28 and 29 May 2024. This was the implementation action from the previous JOIN Campaign conducted last year - UNIQLO’s commitment to the environmental contribution, through collaborative actions with its stakeholders ranging from customers, government, community, as well as NGO. One of the main focuses is tackling the huge amount of plastic waste on the beach that majority comes from other countries and Indonesian regions. In collaboration with local partner Nusantara Nature Conservation Foundation (YKAN), we are doing a series of activities, including cleaning Soha Beach with 150 local people who successfully collected 296 kg of plastic waste and the waste separation education to more than 40 households. We also gave 20 organic and non-organic waste bins to local officers and a chopping machine to the local youth community. Through education and facility support, we expect to increase awareness from the local people to continue separating the waste and using the machine to chop non-organic waste (plastic into smaller pieces that are sold to the waste bank) and organic waste (food into compost that is used as soil fertilizer). On the second day, we invited 30 elementary students to join a mangrove tour and fun snake and ladder environmental games. The program closed with the handover of nine learning materials to the schools curated by Wakatobi National Park with diverse themes like mangroves, coral reefs, birds and others. #uniqlo #powerofclothing #lifewear #uniqloindonesia #sustainability #savetheearth #localcontribution #joincampaign #beachcleanup #oceanconservation #wastemanagement

In June, all UNIQLO, US corporate employees were invited to volunteer in both New York City and Los Angeles in our annual Day of Community Service. UNIQLO’s Day of Community Service is a day in which all UNIQLO US corporate employees can take time off to go and volunteer together as a team, made possible through UNIQLO’s Volunteer Paid Time-off Policy. This year, we had around 130 team members volunteering with local organizations. In New York City our volunteer groups, in partnership with Partnerships for Parks, painted 2 support walls (totaling about 50 feet in length), 43 benches, and removed roughly 30 bags of weeds and natural debris in Jackie Robinson Park. Meanwhile, our volunteer teams in Los Angeles packed over 2,000 boxes of non-perishable food for families at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. UNIQLO is proud to volunteer with local organizations and continue to make a positive impact in our communities! #uniqlo #lifewear #powerofclothing #uniqlous #sustainability #dayofcommunityservice #localcontribution #foodbank #diversityandinclusion #environmentalfriendly #peopleengagement #employeeengagement #volunteerwork #peoplepanetcommunity

UNIQLO, Hong Kong sponsors the official team uniforms for the Sports Association for the Physically Disabled of Hong Kong, China (HKSAPD) from 2024 to 2028. Following the two-year sponsorship of the "Para Sports Community and School Development Programme" last year, we extended the partnership with HKSAPD to further support the development of disabled sports and establish a diverse and inclusive society through different means.   The official uniforms are made with advanced UNIQLO technologies, primarily using DRY-EX, which quickly absorbs and wicks away sweat, and Ultra Stretch, a soft and lightweight fabric that stretches in a 360-degree direction, ensuring optimal performance for athletes when wearing the uniforms. The design of the official uniforms follows a simple and neat style, with a deep blue color representing professionalism and high technology, as well as gray representing stability, showcasing the athletes' spirit of facing challenges, training hard, and striving tirelessly to pursue their dreams.   #uniqlo #lifewear #powerofclothing #uniqlohongkong #uniqlohk #sustainability #madeforall #simplemadebetter #unlockthepowerofclothing #disabledsports #innovation #uniqlotechnology #empowerment #dream #diversityandinclusion

Earlier this week, Fast Retailing CIO, Takahiro Tambara appeared on stage at NRF 2024, Retail’s Big Show, Asia Pacific. In his keynote session to thousands, Tambara described the UNIQLO transformation to become a Digital Consumer Retailer, explaining associated challenges and opportunities. Tambara emphasized it’s not a matter of always inventing new technologies. More often the key is to first innovate with what already exists to reveal new synergies. As UNIQLO works toward end-to-end management of its supply chain for greater visibility and control, RFID, and other digital ID technologies such as QR codes will have a role to play. For UNIQLO, the focus is on continuing to better connect technologies in pursuit of a perfect customer experience. Central to its transformation will be talent and partners with leading technology skills that can be applied at UNIQLO’s global scale. If that describes you, you’ll find roles available to help UNIQLO transform its business globally here: https://lnkd.in/gYZJhMcY #uniqlo #lifewear #powerofclothing #fastretailing #ariakeproject #uniqlotransformation #digitalconsumerretailer #customercentric #customersatisfaction #innovation #technology #globalbusiness

[UNIQLO, Indonesia Celebrating World Earth Day by Planting Mangrove with Disabled Students] In celebration of World Earth Day, UNIQLO in Indonesia collaborated with Kitaoneus.Asia, a local organization engaged in disability advocacy, conducted mangrove planting and educational sessions on April 25, 2024 in Mangrove Ecotourism Center Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta. The objective of the activity is to encourage disabled students to learn more about mangrove ecosystems and participate directly in preserving the environment by planting 100 mangrove trees. We invited more than 100 disabled students from 5 special needs schools around Jakarta to join the mangrove planting and interactive tour by the Jakarta Provincial Park and Forestry Office. We had a great opportunity to have a quick discussion with the Indonesian Minister of Environment and Forestry, Mrs Siti Nurbaya Bakar, and get her recognition for our contribution to the national government’s target of mangrove restoration. A total of 16 employees are also involved as volunteers in this initiative that highlights UNIQLO’s Planet and Society Pillars of Sustainability. #uniqlo #lifewear #powerofclothing #uniqloindonesia #sustainability #dandi #diversityandinclusion #peoplewithdisability #pwd #employeeengagement #sustainabilityevent #worldearthday #peopleplanetcommunity
