Corporate responsibility at Molson Coors

 

During his morning keynote address Mr. Swinburn will discuss how corporate responsibility is embedded in Molson Coors’ approach to doing business, from philanthropy to community investment programs and environmental stewardship.

 

“When we say ‘corporate responsibility’ at Molson Coors we mean business,” explains Mr. Swinburn President and CEO of Molson Coors. “Corporate responsibility means brewing and building our brands the right way.  John Molson once said that ‘we are all members of a larger community which depends on everyone playing a part.' That spirit guides us today in our investment in the community and in how we bring our brands to market.  From the brewing house to the bottling line to our head office everyone at Molson Coors is conscious of having a part to play in the communities where we live and work.”

Monique Villa recently appointed to lead the Thomson Reuters Foundation will talk about how they are expanding the resources and information flows that can help save lives in humanitarian crises.

“The Thomson Reuters Foundation is using the power of the company’s global information network to make a difference for the world’s most vulnerable people,” said Mrs. Villa. “We are currently focused on expanding our existing efforts by collaborating and working alongside other corporations and partners around the world. I look forward to outlining our bold plans at Tremblant Forum.”
