As select malls and establishments resume operations, the SSI Group commits to keep stores clean and safe for all customers and staff through necessary measures that ensure proper hygienic standards. In all SSI stores, fitting rooms are sanitized before and after each use. Thorough sanitation of all stores is conducted daily. Cashless transactions in-store are also highly encouraged while keeping card terminal keypads and store surfaces properly sanitized regularly to ensure safe transactions. Customers are also expected to adhere to certain guidelines for the welfare of everyone. This includes wearing face masks and shields while shopping, maintaining at least 1-meter social distancing from other shoppers, and disinfecting by using the hand sanitizers provided at the counters and store entrances. The SSI Group continues to operate its brick and mortar stores with the necessary safety measures and precautions to ensure the health of not only its customers, but more importantly of its employees and staff.
The SSI Group’s unique portfolio of brands provides the Group with distinctive merchandise, most of which is not yet available to Filipinos through digital platforms. Leveraging on this value proposition, we will continue to make more of our brands available online, across multiple channels – through brand.com sites, third-party marketplaces, and our own multi-brand platforms, such as the newly launched Trunc.ph and others more coming soon. The acceleration of the SSI Group’s e-commerce expansion is one of our responses to the challenges and unique operating conditions brought about by COVID 19. As we continue to be at the forefront of delivering retail innovations to the Philippine market, and as we look to strengthen our e-commerce presence, we remain committed to bringing the best of fashion, beauty, home, food and lifestyle to Filipino consumers, through multiple, world-class retail channels.
