Media statement - Russian-made vodka

04 March 2022

In response to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces and as a sign of solidarity with the people of Ukraine, we have taken the decision to remove from sale Russian-made vodka. It will not be stocked for the foreseeable future.

Our members and customers will also be able to support the humanitarian response to help those displaced by the conflict by donating at our stores to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal. The appeal will launch across our 2,600 stores and we'll be match funding our customers' donations up to £100,000. Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine, and those in Russia who oppose this invasion.

ENDS
