Community investment
From its earliest days, when the company gave its first donation of $100 to a fisherman's mission in Newfoundland, Imperial's tradition of charitable giving has continued.
We know that contributing to worthwhile causes greatly enriches community life and that a prospering community creates, in turn, a positive climate for business. Imperial's success depends on how effectively the company responds to the expectations of the millions of Canadians who have a direct or indirect stake in the company, and Canadians expect companies like Imperial to make a positive contribution to the broader life of their communities.
Our desire is to make a difference in those communities where we have a significant employee presence or business interest. Our emphasis is on math and science education, environment and civic and community programs where we have a large business presence or employee population.
