Environment, Social and Governance

“At George Weston and in our group of companies, we believe a thoughtful and transparent approach to ESG is not only the right thing to do but is fundamental to the success of our businesses. We remain committed to leading where it matters to our businesses while having a positive impact on all our stakeholders.” Galen Weston, Chairman and CEO.

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.
