SIMON SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2022
GIVE BACK BOX Simon partnered with Give Back Box ® in 2022 to provide an effortless and convenient way for our shoppers to donate their gently used clothing and accessories. By using this initiative, our customers can reduce waste and ensure that used products are given a second life, which aligns with our commitment to sustainability. Give Back Box is a third-party donation service that partners with over 170 charities across the country. We have worked with Give Back Box to provide our shoppers with free shipping labels and instructions, which can be completed using recycled cardboard boxes. Shoppers can select the items they wish to donate, package them nicely in the box, print the shipping label, and choose the charity they want to donate to. Finally, they can take their package to their local shipping center. Give Back Box also supports recycling by giving corrugated boxes a secondary use, reducing the need to develop a new product and minimizing waste from products that are no longer in use. Through our partnership with Give Back Box, our shoppers have returned over 1,264 boxes in 2022, supporting charities such as American Cancer Society, Salvation Army, Planet Aid, and organizations that supported refugees from the Ukraine. We are excited to continue this partnership and help our shoppers make a positive impact on their communities and the environment.
Simon is the finest roof for retail in the U.S. By partnering with them, we help the most important brands in America to be more sustainable and generate effortless help for others within existing resources. Simon is like a ship steering retail in the right direction, and we are so proud to be on the same course. With their help, we are reaching more brands and helping
more people. Monika Wiela CEO and Founder at Give Back Box ®
