Saputo Inc., issued its 2025 Saputo Promise Report, outlining key Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) achievements and marking the completion of its most recent three-year corporate responsibility strategic cycle.
It is the company’s approach to ESG performance, which guides its everyday actions to ensure it lives up to the values on which it was founded. It consists of seven pillars designed to help it nourish, protect, and support the communities it calls home.
Carl Colizza, president and CEO of Saputo Inc., said, “Built with our key stakeholders in mind, our Saputo Promise continues to drive, enable, and sustain our growth. With a clear ESG framework and through the lens of our growth strategy, our focus in fiscal 2025 was to complete the execution of our three-year plan and set the stage for the next phase of growth.”
In the 2025 Saputo Promise Report, the Company is proud to highlight the following achievements: Our People: In FY25, Saputo was named one of the World’s Best Companies of 2024 by TIME magazine, a testament to the strength of its workforce and the support of its communities, partners, and customers. The Company also continued to invest significantly in its employees to enhance talent attraction and retention. As a result, it lowered the overall turnover rate to 18 per cent (down from 23 per cent in FY23) and allocated CDN$11.2 million for employee training and development.
Responsible Sourcing: Over the last three years, Saputo has invested more than CDN$4 million in projects in Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and United States to support the capacity building of dairy farmers around sustainable farming practices.
Environment: Saputo’s carbon intensity decreased by 22 per cent compared to its FY20 baseline – surpassing its initial target of 20 per cent – thanks to renewable electricity initiatives and capital projects that drove energy and carbon savings across its global network. In addition, the Company saw notable improvements in the energy and water intensities of its operations.
Community: Saputo put significant effort into expanding the footprint of its Legacy Programme, reaching a total of 88 projects globally in fiscal 2025. This represents a total investment of over CDN$4 million and covers 67 per cent of the communities where the dairy processor operates. In addition, the Company continued its efforts to redistribute food surplus by donating more than 1.4 million kilos of products to local food banks, enough to feed over 4 million people.
Building on the success, learnings, and challenges of previous strategic approaches, Saputo’s new three-year cycle (FY26-FY28) will allow the Company to focus on key global priorities while continuing to advance on all aspects of the Promise. It also introduces Saputo’s new 2030 Environment Pledges, which include science-based emissions reduction targets validated by SBTi, continued improvement efforts on water use, as well as streamlined waste and packaging targets.
