As a global business born and based in Australia, NAIDOC week is an incredibly important time for us as we come together to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It’s an opportunity for all Australians to learn more about the traditional owners of our land and it’s no different at the Cotton On Group.

Since launching the three new partnerships in July, customers and team members from the Supré community have helped raise donations through product purchased and sold from the Supré Foundation range, which included a newly created collection of face masks and hand sanitisers to reflect everyday essential items for the current COVID-19 environment.

Thanks to you, our incredible team and customers, Cotton On Foundation face masks have raised over $5 million AUD globally – and counting! Like all Cotton On Foundation product, 100% of proceeds from the sale of face masks support our global education and healthcare initiatives.

While we may be physically distant, in some ways 2020 has brought our global workforce of 22,000 team members feel just that little bit closer than we ever have before. We can’t even begin to describe how proud we are of our people. From support centres to distribution and in stores, our global teams have proven time and time again that here at COG we’re more than just team mates, we’re a global family and we stick together.

Live now on the Group’s e-commerce site is a brand new Empty Esky platform dedicated to providing Cotton On’s customer with the tips, resources and itineraries they need to set off on an incredible Empty Esky road trip across Australia.

After beginning our partnership with Bwe K’Lar learning centre in 2017, we’re so excited to announce that the first stage of renovations are now complete!

The students who attend Bwe K’Lar are so excited to start learning and playing in their new and improved school!

Right now, many Australian girls and women need critical care and support. Thanks to our Supre community, the Supre Foundation is donating $45,000 across Foodbank, Vinnies and Beyond Blue to immediately assist those who need it most.

We’re thrilled to see Australia and many of our global markets flattening the Coronavirus curve and we’re beyond excited to welcome our team and customers back in stores
As a global retailer, COVID-19 has significantly impacted the way we do business, with 90 percent of our global store footprint closed since early-March.

As an Aussie brand, the best thing we can do for our mates and our loved ones right now is to stay at home.
