Article content
- Our People: In FY25, Saputo was named one of the World’s Best Companies of 2024 by TIME magazine, a testament to the strength of its workforce and the support of its communities, partners, and customers. The Company also continued to invest significantly in its employees to enhance talent attraction and retention. As a result, it lowered the overall turnover rate to 18 per cent (down from 23 per cent in FY23) and allocated CDN$11.2 million for employee training and development.
- Responsible Sourcing: Over the last three years, Saputo has invested more than CDN$4 million in projects in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States to support the capacity building of dairy farmers around sustainable farming practices.
- Environment: Saputo’s carbon intensity decreased by 22 per cent compared to its FY20 baseline – surpassing its initial target of 20 per cent – thanks to renewable electricity initiatives and capital projects that drove energy and carbon savings across its global network. In addition, the Company saw notable improvements in the energy and water intensities of its operations.
- Community: Saputo put significant effort into expanding the footprint of its Legacy Program, reaching a total of 88 projects globally in fiscal 2025. This represents a total investment of over CDN$4 million and covers 67 per cent of the communities where the dairy processor operates. In addition, the Company continued its efforts to redistribute food surplus by donating more than 1.4 million kilos of products to local food banks, enough to feed over 4 million people.
