“We are just at the beginning of this journey. But we are not alone,” says CFO Ives Müller. In his roles as CFO and HR executive, he addresses the impact of the virus on HUGO BOSS in a short video message and thanks the 15,000 employees worldwide.
In a “thank you” video from HUGO BOSS employees and CBO Ingo Wilts, we pay tribute to all who have played their part in getting us through this crisis.
Using the full capacity of our German headquarters, we are supporting the relief effort in response to the Covid-19 crisis. To this end, we have dedicated our production facilities to the manufacture of face masks.
Beyond producing face masks, HUGO BOSS has also started making protective clothing and face shields to further support the fight against the pandemic. A majority of the items produced have already been donated to public facilities such as nursing homes and fire departments.
While we have pivoted our production temporarily to produce these much-needed items, we are also delighted that our license partner for fragrances, Coty, is manufacturing hand sanitizer to help combat shortages due to the coronavirus.
We're all in this together.
