Enriching our Communities
Strengthening economic and community development and driving lasting impact through employee engagement
We build vibrant communities through economic development, charitable giving, employee volunteerism and partnerships. We contribute to the vitality of communities through taxes, wages and investments in infrastructure, including ports, storage buildings and facility improvements. Our businesses, facilities and employee-led groups support civic and non-profit organizations in local communities.
We are committed to feeding the world in a responsible way; reducing our environmental impact; and improving the communities where we live and work. We are passionate about our purpose to be the global leader in nourishing people and operating responsibly across the agricultural, food, industrial and financial markets we serve. We invest in, engage with and respect cultures while promoting sustainable and responsible economic development to improve living standards and promote stable communities.
We provide corporate support to select national and global nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that serve communities in which we have a business presence. We support partners working within our focus areas of food security, nutrition, and sustainability. In the fiscal year 2020, Cargill provided $115 million in total charitable contributions.
