Commitment to community is central to who we are as a co-operative and as such, FCL has again been recognized with a Caring Company designation from Imagine Canada’s PRISM Community Impact Company Network.
The designation is based on FCL’s charitable giving in the 2024 fiscal year, which amounted to more than $11.2 million. This total includes investments of cash, time, in-kind gifts and program management costs, and is in addition to all the local giving that happens through Co-ops across Western Canada.
“A key piece of what makes us a different kind of business is our investment in the communities we serve,” said Leanne Hawes, Vice-President, Co-op and External Relations. “This recognition speaks to our continued commitment to giving back in ways that resonate with our employees and the CRS.”
Imagine Canada is a national charity advocacy organization that recognizes national leaders in community engagement and corporate giving. The Caring Company status is given to companies that donate an annual minimum of one per cent of their pre-tax profit to non-profit and charitable organizations.
