The SHEIN Foundation is a non-profit organization which aims to foster more inclusive and sustainable communities in places where SHEIN operates.
Through the programs it supports, the SHEIN Foundation promotes initiatives dedicated to improving lives in communities, protecting biodiversity and advancing sustainable change. The Foundation’s priorities align with SHEIN’s shared commitment to responsible corporate citizenship and meaningful global impact.
The SHEIN Foundation reinforces and amplifies SHEIN’s commitment to empower the communities we reach and give back to the global community.
Our mission is to empower individuals, organizations, and communities with the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to build more inclusive communities and sustainable ecosystems.
Through innovation and collective action, we aim to improve lives in the communities we reach and catalyse positive change towards a circular fashion industry.
Our vision is a world where every individual has the opportunity to thrive, where the natural world is respected and protected, and where the fashion industry is inclusive, sustainable, and accessible to all.
The SHEIN Foundation is focused on the following areas: (1) improving lives in communities, (2) protecting biodiversity, and (3) advancing sustainable change.
Our goal is to help foster a more inclusive and accessible society, where everyone can contribute meaningfully and reach their full potential. Centring our efforts on women, young people and the underserved communities, we hope to empower individuals and communities to overcome systemic challenges and reshape societal norms.
We recognise the threats from climate change and habitat loss. We hope to contribute to the safeguarding of our natural capital for current and future generations. By protecting, restoring, and promoting the sustainable use of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, we hope to secure a better future for all.
Redefining how we produce and consume requires a collaborative effort across the whole value chain. By supporting research and innovation, and the scaling of environmental and social strategies and solutions, we believe that we can transform the fashion industry through collective action, and contribute to the transition to a more sustainable and circular fashion industry.
