We're passionate about winning, but know our success isn't measured in profits alone. Through Limited Brands/Mast Cares, established in response to the 2004 Southeast Asian tsunami, our associates around the world have donated thousands of volunteer hours and more than $1.7 million to charities.

For more than 30 years, Mast Industries, a subsidiary of Limited Brands, has been a strategic global partner not only to Victoria's Secret but also to some of the other best-known men's, women's and children's apparel and intimate apparel companies. Today, as one of the world's largest contract apparel manufacturers, importers and distributors, their global network includes more than 400 factory relationships and more than 800 associates around the world.

Because of this global network of relationships, resources and associates, Mast and Limited Brands are in a unique position to provide such critical dollars and volunteer hours to communities in need around the globe.

The primary areas of focus include organizations whose major purpose is providing practical and compassionate support to women and children's health, welfare and education around the globe. Embedded in this focus is a commitment to inclusion.

Some of our charitable efforts include:

The mission is simply to do good in the international communities where our associates live and work by effectively funding and volunteering for projects that make a difference in the lives of women and children. In doing so, we strive to strengthen and deepen the community partnerships that are so important to our business and our associates.
