Our Employees in the Community

Our best comes from our people. Around the word, Saputo employees volunteer their time, money and skills to strengthen their communities. Through various initiatives, we are committed to supporting their efforts.

Volunteering Time Off
We empower our employees to volunteer with local charitable organizations. Employees benefit from one paid day per year to serve their community and make a positive impact.
You Care We Care
We support employees in the causes they care about and are personally involved in through financial contributions and product donations.

In collaboration with Eat Up, staff at our Australian sites regularly volunteer to make sandwiches that are distributed to local schools, ensuring students are not learning on an empty stomach.
