STATEMENT RE RUSSIA AND UKRAINE

 

Everyone at JD is shocked and deeply concerned by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and expresses the utmost sympathy for all Ukrainians.

 

JD confirms that it has ceased all trading in Russia across both its brand websites and wholesale channels. These sales represented less than 0.05% of annual revenues.

 

JD also confirms that it has no facilities or employees in either Russia or Ukraine.

 

In addition to many personal collections and activities from our colleagues across the Group, we will look to support those affected through our verified charity partners.

 

The conflict in Ukraine continues to generate grave concern and we look forward to reconciliation and the return to peace within the region.
