Signet Jewelers donates $1 million to the Red Cross in Ukraine
H Samuel owner Signet Jewelers is to donate $1 million to the Red Cross Ukraine humanitarian relief efforts through its Signet Love Inspires Foundation.
The group, whose other retail banners include the likes of Ernest Jones and Zales, has already suspended business interaction with Russian-owned entities at the beginning of the invasion.
Signet said the funds will help provide much needed food, medical supplies, shelter and ongoing crisis relief in the country.
Virginia Drosos, Signet chief executive, said: “At Signet, our purpose is inspiring love. We stand against this invasion and pray for all the innocent people impacted by war, We put our purpose into action through the Signet Love Inspires Foundation and the generous contributions from our Signet team members. We give with a grateful heart to support the Red Cross organisation’s critical mission to provide lifesaving help where it is so desperately needed.”
To maximise individual giving, the foundation will also match donations from Signet team members by 2:1 up to $1,000 per person per year.
