Our CSR efforts refl ect the principles,
priorities and values exemplifi ed by the
company founder Mr. Marvin Sands.
They are focused on improving the
health and well-being of the people and
the environment at each of our business
locations around the world.
Constellation's CSR platform is
based upon three pillars, sustainability,
giving and social responsibility.
Sustainability. Because we rely on
the land for our livelihood, it is critical
that Constellation does all it can to
ensure clean water, air and soil at all
our sites throughout the world. The
company's aim is to look for ways to
improve the environment, while also
minimizing Constellation's collective
impact. Some of our accomplishments
are Constellation installed 17.000 solar panels at many
of our facilities in California giving us the largest solar
footprint in the U.S. wine industry. A few other examples
of Constellations sustainability initiatives are energy
effi ciency, water treatment, riparian restoration, natural
farming, alternative packaging and
many others.
Giving. Through corporate donations
and employee volunteerism, Constellation
supports a wide range of charitable
causes related to the arts, education
and health care. Some examples are the
Haiti earthquake relief fund; we are a
proud partner of the V foundation for
Cancer research; and contributions
given to the Rochester General Health
System's Sands-Constellation Heart
Institute.
Social Responsibility. Constellation
actively supports a number of
organizations that promote responsible
drinking and address the societal impact
of the misuse of beverage alcohol,
including The Century Council. We also
abide by our Global Code of Responsible Practices for
Beverage Alcohol Advertising and marketing and are an
active participant in industry self-regulatory efforts.
Constellation is truly committed to Corporate Social
Responsibility.
