74% of Canadians prefer to support businesses with a corporate social responsibility certification. 
ABOUT THE CERTIFICATION

Founded in 1988, the Caring Company Certification awards an Imagine Canada Trustmark to purpose-driven companies that commit at least 1% of annual pretax profits in support of the communities where their employees live and work - independently verified, every year. 

Eligible contributions include cash donations, in-kind contributions, employee volunteerism and management costs. Contributions must be voluntary, benefit the broader community, and support a public benefit nonprofit or charitable organization beyond the company’s stakeholders or business interests.

In a crowded market of corporate giving claims, the Imagine Canada Trustmark helps your company stand apart.
