Community engagement

At H&M Group, we want to give back to communities outside of our core business.

Our ambition

Our objective is to empower communities to create positive change for people and planet beyond our value chain. We support marginalised, underprivileged and vulnerable groups of people as well as initiatives that focus on climate and nature. Our contributions include donations, paid employee volunteering and partnerships with NGOs.

To have a bigger impact in the communities we are present, we partner with Business for Societal Impact (B4SI), the global standard in measuring and managing social impact.
