Shiseido offers immediate support to the people of Ukraine.

We’re watching, as many of you are, what is happening in Ukraine with growing concern and profound sadness. Our thoughts and our hearts go out to all people and refugees of Ukraine. While we do not have employees in Ukraine, many of our staff have ties of family and friendship to Ukraine. We are mindful of our extended family of business partners and our consumers, to whom we also aim to provide support.

In order to help those who are going through overwhelming fear and despair at this moment, we have decided to donate €1 Million to the UNHCR (the United Nations Refugee Agency). By donating to UNHCR, we hope to reach them as fast as we can and to bring concrete help and support to their lives. We will continue to look for any possible ways to support people who are suffering from this ongoing conflict.

In addition to this, we have heard from our employees that they also want to help, hence we are implementing a global voluntary employee donation. This is a matching scheme to offer our employees the possibility to augment our humanitarian actions through their own donations to UNHCR.

We will continue to follow closely the increasingly urgent needs of people in Ukraine. Our hearts are with everyone impacted while we share hope for peace.
