CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

At McCormick, we are growing our business globally while driving positive change to the environment, within our communities, and for our employees.

As a global flavor company, we are sensitive to the issues facing the world at large, our nation and the local communities where we live and work. Since our earliest days as a company, we have held a strong commitment to the communities we are a part of and the planet as a whole.

We are now increasingly focused on the alignment of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts with our business objectives and strategy recognizing that these efforts are integrally tied to our business success. From our philanthropic work to the way we run our business, we are committed to protecting the environment and supporting our communities across the globe.
