JD Sports Fashion (LSE:JD.), the global omni-channel retailer of sports, fashion and outdoor brands, has published its inaugural Global Impact Report for FY26.

The report, titled Growing Our Tomorrow Together, summarises the group's progress on people, communities, environment and ethical practice across the 51 countries in which it operates.

"As we continue to grow our global footprint, our responsibility to our people, communities and environment grows with it," said Régis Schultz, CEO.

Key figures disclosed include more than 28,500 young people engaged through JD UP, 130 schools and 80 charity partners, 1,500 colleagues and volunteers supporting JD UP activity, and £2.5m donated via the JD Foundation and JD Finish Line Foundation.

The report also records 320 UK colleagues enrolled on apprenticeship programmes and 3,929 young people completing virtual work experience through Springpod.

JD says the document details continued investment in AI-enabled tools and colleague development alongside work to strengthen supply-chain transparency, ethical sourcing and environmental performance.
