We care about the causes that matter to you. FCL’s philanthropic programs include employee-directed giving as well as major corporate donations and partnerships, some of which include cause marketing campaigns. With the support of the CRS, FCL launched Co-op Community Spaces and made major donations to the Canadian Red Cross, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and five children’s hospital foundations across Western Canada.

Remediation
We care about the safe and sustainable management of current and former operational sites throughout the CRS. FCL continues to look for improved ways to address these issues and supports ground-breaking research to find sustainable ways to safely clean up historic fuel and fertilizer sites. Not only does FCL conduct its own research, it collaborates with government, industry and academia. In 2015, FCL helped fund an industrial research chair in this field and was a founding partner in the Sustainable In-Situ Remediation Co-operative Alliance (SIRCA), a group of researchers, universities and co-operatives working to advance research activities focusing on on-site remediation technologies.
