Shopping Bag Charge

Q. Shopping Bag Charge

As part of our commitment to sustainability, UNIQLO aims to reduce our single use paper consumption. We encourage our customers to bring reusable bags when they shop in our stores.

With this effort we have started charging Php 2 for every paper bag from September 5, 2022.

Our paper bag proceeds will be going towards our two partner organizations, Haribon Foundation and ABS-CBN Foundation, to aid in their respective environment conservation efforts.

About the beneficiaries and support programs:

➜ Haribon Foundation:

UNIQLO has partnered with Haribon Foundation to support their Forests For Life Movement.

This project aims to promote forest conservation and revitalize the forest covers in their different sites nationwide.

The proceeds amount entails support for the care and cultivation of the seedlings, including covering the livelihood of the communities caring for them. The communities are partner organizations local to the different areas that serve as the stewards of looking after the growth of our forests.
