The devastating war in Ukraine shakes us all. In these times, it's never been more important to band together for a greater cause. I am overwhelmed by the commitment demonstrated by our team members and colleagues worldwide at HUGO BOSS who have come together in support of the people of Ukraine. So many from all over the world have joined forces to raise donations, organized aid and critical goods, and have even opened up their homes for the many displaced. HUGO BOSS has also contributed as a company to those in need, both in donations and in kind.
 
We are also committed to providing opportunities for those fleeing Ukraine. Therefore, we at HUGO BOSS, will be regularly sharing job positions at www.jobaidukraine.com and www.uatalents.com, in order to offer both - stability and perspective in their new locations. #JobsForUkraine
 
Together we #StandWithUkraine

We at HUGO BOSS are convinced that a company is only as innovative and open to change as its employees are. This is why we re-introduced our Kickbox intrapreneurship program at the beginning of the year to strengthen our entrepreneurial spirit and follow our passion for innovation.\n \nThe impressive ideas of our employees ranged from sustainability topics around carbon neutrality to further reducing return rates in our eCom business and the potential of virtual reality as well as gaining new customers through innovative marketing channels.\n \nAfter a fantastic pitch from our final Kickboxers Babette Gawlick, Karen Heise, Rüdiger Marwein, Patrick Schreiner and Mohamed Matar on their entrepreneurial ideas a few months ago, it goes without saying that we would want to reward their efforts. I highly appreciate that the Kickboxers put their time into becoming intrapreneurs and therefore helping us actively to shape the future & leverage the full potential of HUGO BOSS.\n \nSo yesterday, we took them on a business trip to our Ticino campus and to experience “1 DAY WITH THE CEO”, where they joined me for a business update with Christopher Koerber on the execution of our CLAIM5 strategy. To round off the day, our Kickboxers joined me in a meeting with Formula 1.\n \nOur employees play a crucial role in shaping the future of our company and in showing how we can live up to our full potential. Hats off to the Kickboxers for their inspiring teamwork, personal ownership, and entrepreneurial spirit! Their ideas are already in various stages of execution. I am looking forward to the next steps and to more innovative ideas to come!\n\n#HUGOBOSS #CLAIM5

We had an amazing time this week at HUGO BOSS during our internal Sustainability Strategy Day. It was the perfect opportunity to introduce our new sustainability strategy: “FOR A BOLD & BETTER FUTURE”. Our mission is clear: we love fashion, we change fashion — and we want to change it for the better! 

Together with Dorothee Niebergall, Ivica Maric, Kristina Szasz, Christian Stoehr, and Vanessa Garrecht, I had a great time discussing the importance of sustainability at a personal and business level and how we can raise awareness among our colleagues, families, and friends. 

It was absolutely energizing and inspiring to hear how all of us are committed to making bold moves to drive positive change within our industry through innovative initiatives. Our Digital Campus, digital prototypes, digital TWIN, and our partnership with HeiQ AeoniQ™ are already making us more sustainable. These efforts are already: 

- Reducing material waste  
- Reducing carbon emissions  
- Reducing our use of polyester and nylon by embracing alternative materials 

Even if we cannot be perfect overnight, we can be a bit better every day. I 100% believe our new strategy and goals will help us unlock our full potential while respecting social and governance standards next to environmental standards in all our actions. Exactly as laid out in our CLAIM 5 strategy!

Looking forward to seeing how we continue to be bold for our planet together. No planet, no fashion! 🌍

Taking a moment on #InternationalWomensDay to recognize and celebrate all the incredible HUGO BOSS women for their achievements across all areas of life.

This year at HUGO BOSS, we join the International Women’s Day Organization’s global movement to #EmbraceEquity - this means we are continually working to provide an inclusive space where everyone can be their authentic self.

There are a number of phenomenal women that are absolutely instrumental in my team, and who I cannot thank enough for all the fun we have at work together and all the incredible energy you bring to our company, collaboration and joint projects. Today, a special mention goes to Nadia K., Dorothee Niebergall, Katja Stopper, Kristina Szasz and Carolin Westermann: your leadership, strength, creativity, passion and positive mindsets continue to inspire me every day. You are true BOSSes and I feel grateful for each one of you.

Last but not least, I’d also like to dedicate this to my wife, Louise Camuto. Your heart, power, boldness, and drive are just a few of the countless aspects of who you are to everyone who meets you on a professional and personal level.

Today, let’s celebrate all women in their communities, workplaces, and families. Let us continue to support and uplift the women in our lives, both personally and professionally.
