Environment, Social and Governance

Across the Weston Group of Companies, we strive to build generational value with an actively managed portfolio of market-leading businesses in retail, real estate and consumer goods.

“I believe that business has both the opportunity and responsibility to have a positive effect in the community. Growth and prosperity do not need to come at the expense of sustainability.” Galen Weston, Chairman and CEO.

We believe a thoughtful and transparent approach to Environment, Social and Governance issues is fundamental to our strategy. We are committed to leading where it matters and having a positive impact on the stakeholders we serve.

At George Weston Limited, we believe our responsibility as a business extends beyond our shareholders to the community at large, including the environment. It is a commitment we take very seriously, as one of Canada’s largest publicly traded companies and as a family-led firm with roots going back four generations to 1882.

Our company has played an important part in the commercial development of Canada, providing jobs, investing in innovation, and creating opportunities for other businesses. But just as important is the investment we’ve made in our communities, to help strengthen them through social, cultural and environmental initiatives. We are proud of the various charitable commitments we have made across the group of businesses.
