UNIQLO挺烏克蘭加入抵制俄羅斯行列 即日起暫停在俄羅斯銷售

俄羅斯、烏克蘭戰爭，成為舉世矚目焦點，隨著戰事升溫，各國也以擁護自由、人道，紛紛加入制裁俄羅斯行列。平價時尚品牌如H&M、Zara也採取相同策略，表達Stand With Ukraine立場；而去年才在莫斯科開出歐陸最大門市的UNIQLO也宣布跟進抵制。

俄烏戰事持續延燒，旗下擁有多個平價時尚品牌的H&M集團，早在3月2日就發表聲明，暫時停止在俄羅斯境內共有168家不同品牌門市的銷售。隨後，Zara母公司inditex也是自3月6日起， 關閉旗下8個品牌於俄羅斯的502家專賣店，inditex表示將為其近萬名員工提供支持計劃。而一度成為世界最大成衣商的UNIQLO母公司迅銷集團，也終於在今日（3月10日）正式宣布，強烈反對任何敵對行為，並譴責一切形式的侵犯人權和威脅個人和平生存的侵略。選擇即日起暫停關閉在俄羅斯境內的所有門市，藉以表達立場。

而迅銷集團即使晚了其他時尚品牌一步，但在3月4日時，就已和聯合國難民署合作，捐贈1000萬美元和衣物；並委請在歐洲的員工幫助為逃離烏克蘭的受影響民眾運送衣物。值得一提的是，UNIQLO才在2021年12月於俄羅斯首都莫斯科開出歐陸最大門市，因此這項決策將對於品牌於上半年歐洲營收產生鉅變。

迅銷集團聲明如下：

While continuing our UNIQLO business in Russia, it has become clear to us that we can no longer proceed due to a number of difficulties. Therefore, we have decided today to temporarily suspend our operations.

Fast Retailing is strongly against any acts of hostility. We condemn all forms of aggression that violate human rights and threaten the peaceful existence of individuals.

Our company mission is centered around offering the general public basic, affordable clothes that are made for everyone. We believe it is our responsibility to provide such essential items to all, including those affected by conflict, natural disasters and other devastations. Last week we announced a donation of US$10 million and clothing through our longstanding global partnership with UNHCR. In addition, our employees in Europe have been helping deliver clothing to affected people fleeing from Ukraine.

UNIQLO has made everyday clothing available to the general public in Russia too, as part of our mission. However, we have recently faced a number of difficulties, including operational challenges and the worsening of the conflict situation. For this reason, we will temporarily suspend our operations.

Our thoughts are with the people who are suffering today, and we will do whatever we can to support them during these very tragic times. We wish for the return of peace and stability as quickly as possible.
