Giving back
In today's marketplace, it's often not enough
to give consumers a good product at an
affordable price.
More and more, people want to buy their foods and other products from
companies that share their values.
That's where corporate responsibility programs come into play. And it's not
just coming from consumers - companies also want to do as much as they
can to make the communities they serve better places to be and to ensure the
wellbeing of the people who live in them.
There's no one-size-fits all solution to corporate responsibility, said Pete
Stoddart, North American director for corporate responsibility for Cargill. But
recurring themes for the company include sustainability, food insecurity, health
and diversity, equity and inclusion.
On the retail side, The GIANT Company's corporate responsibility program
focuses on creating a better future for the communities the company serves, said
Jessica Groves, GIANT's community impact manager.
" The grocery store is a central piece of our neighbors' lives, from weekly
shopping trips to the last-minute grabs, " she said. " We understand the important
role we play and feel a strong responsibility to be a good neighbor. "
GIANT's current corporate responsibility program falls under three main goals:
Eliminating Hunger, Changing Childrens Lives, and Healing Our Planet.
Groves is particularly proud of the retailer's efforts addressing hunger. GIANT
has donated millions of dollars and millions of pounds of food through in-store
programming, supplier partner support, and our incredibly generous customer
round up donations to support hunger efforts in every community it serves.
