在日本關東、關西、名古屋共設有 14 家分店的求職證件照攝影棚「Studio Indi」營運公司 Studio Indi Co., Ltd.（東京都新宿區）為實踐永續發展目標（SDGs），啟動了回收免費租賃西裝服務中不再需要的西裝、襯衫、領帶，並將其捐贈給 NPO 法人 World Gift 的計畫。
本計畫旨在解決日本國內日益嚴重的衣物廢棄問題，並透過向海外求職者提供衣物，支援其經濟獨立。
背景與目的：透過租賃西裝實現永續的海外支援
目前，日本國內每年約有 51 萬噸的衣物被廢棄*，提高其再利用率是一大課題。特別是西裝、襯衫等商務服飾，許多都是品質優良、透過適當保養即可長久穿著的衣物，其廢棄代表著資源的巨大損失。
另一方面，在許多海外地區，人們缺乏適合求職面試、婚喪喜慶等正式場合的服裝，服裝不合適也成為阻礙就業機會的原因之一。Studio Indi 期望透過「將日本高品質的二手衣物連結給有需要的人」，為環保及國際難民支援做出貢獻。
