Community Involvement

Community Involvement

Part of being a good citizen is giving back to your community with financial resources, time and talent. Cargill contributes more than $36 million a year – 2 percent of our global pre-tax earnings – to charities and community causes. We focus primarily in three areas: nutrition and health; innovation in education; and stewardship of natural resources.

To organize community involvement activities, many of our locations have established Cargill Cares Councils, formalized groups of employees that coordinate volunteer programs and direct resources to meet community needs. With “enriched communities” as one of Cargill’s four measures of performance, Cargill businesses are also including community involvement as part of their annual business plans.
