As part of our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion journey, we are pleased to announce our global partnership with Catalyst. Moreover, to further our commitment to accelerate change, Lino Saputo, Jr. will join Catalyst CEO Champions for Change along with more than 70 CEOs who have publicly pledged to advance more women into leadership positions.
Furthermore, in December 2020, 14 of our employees across all our Divisions participated in the MARC Summit – Men Advocating for Real Change. Over this two-day virtual experience, participants heard personal stories from men who spoke about their challenge to be authentic and invited them to engage in more effective gender partnerships to model a healthier culture of masculinity.

“Having such a diverse group with different cultures, backgrounds, experiences and personalities leads to rich discussions and powerful outcomes.”
As we continue to grow, we need to remain mindful of how our unconscious bias can impact the contribution of others. We introduced unconscious bias training in 2019 so our people managers are better equipped to recognize bias and improve our decision-making. Read more about this in our Case Study section.
“Some great eye-opening examples of our own biases – impactful.”
“Keeping this at the forefront of our jobs is very important.”
