CREATING POSITIVE CHANGE IN OUR INDUSTRY AND COMMUNITIES

Since its founding, Constellation Brands has been dedicated to helping the communities we serve by ensuring that our corporate social responsibility efforts are aligned to our business needs and the values of our core consumers. We do this by supporting community-based organizations with strong records of success, and by empowering our employees to volunteer their time, share their skills, and donate their resources so that together, we can create a greater, lasting impact.

Our focus is on helping individuals and families thrive by positively impacting their lives and careers and economic prosperity through housing empowerment, financial literacy, job training, and career development. We believe that by creating these opportunities we contribute to sustainable economic development for all, ensuring that both communities and businesses can prosper together.

When a natural disaster happens, we support nonprofit partners to step in to provide a safe place to stay, food to eat, and emotional support to prevent a long-term setback for families. Our support goes deeper by including industry-specific relief efforts for food and beverage workers who have lost their homes, income, and stability and to ensure existing restaurant worker training programs are back up and running as quickly as possible.

We believe that supporting the economic stability of people and communities through philanthropy and volunteerism creates strong consumers who drive market growth, therefore essential to our company’s future success and continued efforts to building a future for all that is truly worth reaching for.

Responsible Consumption

We are evolving our approach to responsible consumption by embracing a contemporary mindset that aligns with consumer betterment trends. With the understanding that it starts with us, we’ve partnered with our Wellness and Brand teams to create engaging opportunities for employees to learn more about responsible consumption and how our portfolio of brands can play a role. We share resources with the understanding that with deeper knowledge, we will further a culture inspired by shared values and responsible consumption in support of a more balanced lifestyle. This concept is well represented in our product portfolio as many additions have been inspired by rising consumer interest in moderation, individual betterment, and well-being. As consumers reach for brands with lower calories and lower alcohol, how they are thinking about responsible drinking is evolving beyond knowing alcohol limits and warning against drunk driving; they are increasingly embracing a more balanced approach to alcohol consumption as part of a lifestyle choice.

Employee Match Program

Giving back to the communities in which we live and work is something we’ve been doing for more than 75 years, since our founder, Marvin Sands, first brought this commitment to life. We support this effort in a variety of ways, including our Employee Match Program in which the company matches employees’ charitable contributions to qualified 501(c)(3) organizations 1:1 up to a maximum of $5000 per year. Our employees across the globe continue to embrace this program, generously donating their time and funds to local causes they are passionate about.
