Support Campaign for Communities in Türkiye and Syria
)
Dufry has initiated a Point of Sale (POS) Donation scheme across the Dufry shops in Europe, to support people and communities affected by the earthquakes in Southeast Türkiye and Syria. The mechanics of this humanitarian aid campaign are very simple. At the time of closing the ticket, customers will be asked if they wish to participate in the collection of funds to support people and communities affected by the earthquakes with a contribution of CHF/EUR 1, 3 or 5 - or the equivalent in local currency. The full amount of the donation will go entirely to the cause.
Two reputable organizations have been chosen to channel the aid. AFAD (Republic of Türkiye´s Ministry of Interior Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency) – for aid in Turkey – and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (ICRC) to support the victims on Syrian soil.
This initiative has been launched in all Dufry stores across 13 countries, including: Bulgaria, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the UK.
