Employees in Four Countries Participate in One-Day
Event
More than 100 Organizations Worldwide Benefit from Company
Program
VICTOR, N.Y., August 4, 2014
- More than $125,000 in charitable giving is now making
its way to over 100 organizations around the world, following the
success of Constellation Brands' first-ever Employee Match Day,
which took place July 23 and engaged Constellation employees in
four countries.
The organizations receiving financial support from
Constellation Brands, all chosen by the company's employees, range
from health care to arts centers, and food banks to environmental
causes. Constellation at the corporate level matched all
employee donations 1:1. As an incentive to stimulate giving,
Constellation picked 10 employee charities at random and donated an
additional $1,000 to each.
Dedicating a single day for all employees to
donate in unison is a new feature of the company's Employee Match
Program, which debuted in 2011 and has distributed nearly half a
million dollars overall. Single day contributions from the
first Employee Match Day were equivalent to previous full-year
campaigns.
"Our goal with Employee Match Day was to make an
even bigger impact in giving back to our communities, and we
succeeded beyond our expectations," said Ginny Clark, senior vice
president public affairs. "We're very proud to see how deeply
our philosophy of giving back is embraced by our employees,
wherever we do business around the world."
Employees in four countries - the U.S., Canada,
Italy and New Zealand - took part in the Employee Match Day
program.
"We were thrilled with the response from our
employees," said Rob Sands, president and chief executive officer,
Constellation Brands, Inc. "As our company grows, so does our
longstanding tradition of giving back in the communities where we
live and work. The momentum from our first Employee Match Day
will elevate all of our charitable giving."
This fall, Constellation Brands plans to introduce
a new giving back initiative, Nourishing Neighbors, designed to
fight hunger in the communities where employees live and work. The
program will launch October 20-25, 2014 and focus on donating food,
time and dollars to local food banks and related
organizations.
