| Abstract: | The article focuses on Uniqlo’s engagement with social responsibility beyond traditional apparel sustainability efforts, highlighting its support for displaced communities through the Displacement Film Fund. This fund, backed by Uniqlo as a founding partner, provides financial support to filmmakers affected by displacement or who document refugee experiences, exemplified by the screening of the documentary *Allies in Exile*. Alongside clothing donations totaling nearly 59 million items since 2006 and partnerships with humanitarian organizations, Uniqlo’s approach emphasizes amplifying refugee voices and addressing the social dimensions of sustainability in the fashion industry. The article suggests that while environmental metrics dominate sustainability discussions, the human impact of global supply chains, especially regarding displaced people, warrants greater attention.
