PVH Corp., a worldwide recognised American apparel behemoth, has announced that its stores in Russia and Belarus would close as of today (7 March).
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the company's e-commerce sites in Russia were shut down on February 28. PVH's main concern in the last ten days has been for all persons affected by the fighting in Ukraine and the rising humanitarian situation.
As a result, the owner of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger is dedicated to offering complete financial, operational, and spiritual assistance to all impacted workers and loved ones. Notably, the retail company has said that all employees would continue to receive their wages and benefits.
