| Labatt
Community Investment
Throughout our history in Canada,
Labatt has conducted itself as a responsible member
of the communities in which we do business and
has remained committed to providing support to
non-profit organizations that best serve those
communities.
This commitment goes back as
far as 1847 with our founder, John Kinder Labatt,
who felt that good corporate citizenship was fundamental
to doing business. For more than 150-years that
philosophy has guided our company.
We will continue this tradition
of corporate social responsibility. In today’s
world, however, for Labatt to have an even greater
impact means that a more focused and strategic
approach is needed– in how we invest in
communities in which we have a presence and how
we manage these investments for the greatest results.
The company will encourage and
recognize employee community involvement and leverage
its resources and capabilities to address issues
that relate directly to our stakeholders. The
new Labatt Community Investment Policy will operate
as an integral ingredient of the overall corporate
strategy.
Following are the Labatt Community
Investment Policy guidelines which detail the
information the company requires to consider your
organization or project for support.
Thank you for your interest
in Labatt. Together, we look forward to enhancing
the quality of life for the many communities across
Canada.
