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.
