CONTRIBUTING TO OUR COMMUNITIES
At Campbell, we are proud of our long-standing commitment to the communities where we live and work, beginning in our hometown of Camden, New Jersey. We describe our community efforts as "nourishing our neighbors" and we are focused in four primary areas:
- Community Revitalization—enhancing the quality of life in our communities.
- Wellness—addressing the health of our consumers in the communities where they live.
- Hunger Relief—supporting food bank organizations in the countries where we operate.
- Education—leveraging the Campbell brand portfolio to support educational programs.
We are moving forward to strengthen our community activities. We will establish goals in each area and provide the resources necessary to achieve them.
Campbell Soup Company and our employees have a long history of contributing to the communities where we live and work. Our corporate support also enables Campbell to make a positive impact in the communities beyond where we directly operate, but where our brands are part of the lives of our consumers.
Nourishing Our Neighbors
Campbell supports initiatives that enable us to make a difference in the community. Our work in the community includes cash grants, product donations and the volunteer service of our employees. For example, cause-marketing initiatives enable Campbell to support programs such as the American Heart Association's heart-healthy Go Red for Women campaign and our Labels For Education program, which provides educational equipment to schools. Cash grants from the Campbell Soup Foundation facilitate innovative projects in the U.S. locations where we operate. Our product donations help feed the hungry and sustain those in need in the aftermath of natural disasters. And our support of global programs such as Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) projects our community work around the world.
Community service is an important part of our philanthropy. In Campbell communities around the world our employees donate their time and talents to organizations and projects to improve the local communities where Campbell operates. Campbell encourages individual volunteerism and team-based volunteer projects. These projects serve to build employee engagement and benefit our community neighbors with tangible results. In addition, we created a Dollars For Doers program in order to provide financial support for the community organizations that our individual employees support through their volunteer efforts.
