We are a global business with stores located on three continents and in thousands of communities around the world. Supporting these communities is important to us. There are several ways in which we organize our support:

• Foundation Giving: Through our three foundations in the U.S., Canada, and Europe we provide philanthropic grants to selected nonprofit organizations.
• Cause Marketing and In-store Fundraising: Our retail chains conduct charitable campaigns that align with one or more of our social impact areas.
• Associate Volunteerism and Giving: We encourage our Associates around the world to contribute their time, talent, and resources.

At TJX, our core values of honesty, integrity, and treating each other with dignity and respect have lived at the heart of our business since the beginning. These values play a key role in our approach to how we support the communities in which we live and work. As a business, we do not tolerate discrimination or hate of any kind.

In support of this position, in 2020, we committed an incremental $10 million in funding, delivered over two years, to provide more direct support to Black communities and other communities of color. We were pleased to expand existing partnerships and create new ones with organizations in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia. We worked directly with organizations to understand their needs and, together, determined how to direct the funding to support specific projects and programs.

The following are some of the organizations we were pleased to support through this funding:*

We have united with businesses around the world in our condemnation of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. To support the relief efforts providing humanitarian aid to help people impacted by the war, we have made donations to numerous organizations through our charitable foundations, both in the U.S. and internationally, including: The Polish Red Cross, The American Red Cross, Save the Children, World Central Kitchen, The British Red Cross Emergency Appeal, and The Canadian Red Cross’ Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal. In addition, we initiated a fundraising campaign at stores around the world to support those impacted by the Ukraine crisis.

Our thoughts are with our TJX family across the globe and all of those affected by the war in Ukraine. As a global company, we stand with the people of Ukraine and remain steadfastly committed to supporting our Associates impacted by this crisis.
