SASKATOON — Federated Co-operatives Limited has been recognized as a Caring Company from Imagine Canada’s PRISM Community Impact Company Network.
This is the eighth consecutive year that FCL has been honoured by the national charity advocacy organization.
“Investing in the communities we serve across Western Canada is a fundamental part of who we are as an organization,” said Meghan Gervais, FCL vice-president, Health, Safety and Compliance.
“To receive the Caring Company certification for the eighth year in a row speaks to FCL’s continued commitment to giving back in meaningful ways on behalf of the CRS and our employees.”
During our 2023 fiscal year, FCL donated more than $8.7 million across Western Canada through programs such as Co-op Community Spaces, the FCL Community Investment Fund, Co-op Helps and FCL Community Builders. It also includes ongoing support of organizations like the Canadian Red Cross and the United Way, as well as in-kind food donations made by FCL distribution centres to local food banks.
Imagine Canada is a national charity advocacy organization that recognizes national leaders in community engagement and corporate giving. The Caring Company status is given to companies that donate an annual minimum of one per cent of their pre-tax profit to non-profit and charitable organizations.
This total is in addition to donations made by local Co-ops within their communities.
