Qurate Retail Group Releases 2023 Global Contribution Summary
July 12, 2024 – At Qurate Retail GroupSM, we continue to make significant advancements towards our critical role in protecting the environment, championing empowerment and belonging, and curating product responsibly. We do this by inspiring a more sustainable way to retail through actions that accelerate business growth and positively impact employees, customers, communities, business partners, and the planet.
One of the myriad ways we inspire a more sustainable way to retail is through our championing empowerment & belonging pillar. This includes a strategic imperative around delivering measurable and differentiated social and community impact through focused cause marketing and giving programs which embrace our responsibility to our stakeholders and society at large. As a result, our 2023 Global Contribution Summary Report highlights the many impactful ways we collectively made a difference last year through the continued commitment of our customers, vendors, and team members to building a brighter future through their contributions to meaningful causes which support our communities.
