Filed under: Fashion & apparel brands · Companies that support Israel

Background

ASOS has no recorded donations or support for Israel. The British online fashion retailer has no stores anywhere (it is e-commerce only), no operations in Israel, and no documented corporate donations, investments or statements concerning Israel. Boycott-list trackers themselves list ASOS as having no verified Israel ties, and it appears on no major boycott guide. In 2022, ASOS actually stopped shipping certain international brands to Israeli customers — a commercial move made at the request of brands' exclusive Israeli distributors, not a political one. A claim sometimes raised is that ASOS's largest shareholder, Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen, invested through his family holding company Heartland in Terminal X, the online fashion arm of Israel's Fox Group: that is a personal investment by a shareholder's private vehicle, not an action of ASOS plc.
