We are committed to the communities where we operate. As part of this commitment, we invest in improving the quality of sport and health facilities with the objective of building a lasting legacy. Such local projects enable us to promote a healthier lifestyle for families and make a meaningful contribution within the communities where our employees live, work and play.
Through the Saputo Legacy Program launched in 2013, our Company has contributed approximately CDN $2.8 million toward 50 projects in Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia and United Kingdom. Each of these projects fills us with pride. This is why we are always looking for new opportunities to make a real difference in the communities we call home.
