While the world continues to rise up against the racial injustices faced by Black Americans, it’s important to remember that we’re still amidst a pandemic that has already killed 100,000 people stateside.
With companies finding unique ways to use their platform to help those in need, Lacoste has stepped up to do what they do best– polos.

In April, nearly 100 employees from the company’s French factories volunteered to make masks through the month, and Lacoste –who always remains committed to its employees– vowed that there’d be no salary cuts for its workers.
In order to play our role as best we can in these uncertain times and to be true to our values of solidarity and teamwork, we have chosen to maintain the salaries of all Lacoste employees throughout the world at 100 percent of their fixed salary for both months of March and April 2020,” CEO Thierry Guibert said in an official statement.
