Nourishing A Better World
Sustainability isn’t something we do, it’s part of our DNA. In 2021, we launched our 10-year global sustainability strategy under three pillars, with eight initiatives. Our three pillars are: Baked for You (Product focus), Baked for Nature (Environmental focus) and Baked for Life (People focus).

We will undertake each of our strategic initiatives while respecting the four foundations that we believe are vital to ensuring our sustainability efforts become the natural way of doing business.
- Environmental standards – upholding leading environmental standards across all of our operations.
- Product quality and safety – producing products with the highest quality and standards.
- Human rights and labour standards - protecting associates across our operations and our value chain.
- Sustainable raw and material sourcing – sourcing priority raw materials using sustainable practices.
Baked for You
We will provide an even better experience with more nutritional diversity and simpler ingredients. To achieve this, 100% of our baking offerings will consist of simple and natural recipes, with nutrition in every bite by 2030.
We will continue to increase the presence of a wide array of whole grains and other plant-based ingredients at every price point, with the objective that 100% of our baked products and snacks can be part of a plant-based diet by 2030.
We will empower our consumers to make the nutritional choices that meet their lifestyle and dietary needs through clear and transparent information about our products – both on package and online. By 2030, 100% of our products will offer nutritional and sustainable transparency and we will continue to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Baked for Nature
We are committed to becoming a net zero carbon emissions company by 2050 and all global sustainability targets were validated by The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2021.
By 2025, we will reduce our food waste by 50% and all bakeries will be zero waste to landfill; and, 100% of our packaging will support a circular economy through being recyclable, biodegradable or compostable.
We will support farmers and suppliers in embracing regenerative agriculture practices to enrich soils, capture carbon and build resilient ecosystems, with the objective to source 100% of key ingredients from land being farmed using regenerative agricultural practices by 2050.
Baked for Life
We will enrich the communities that where we live and work and make a positive impact on our society through our Good Neighbour program, financial donations program, food bank partnership program and our associate volunteer programs.
The safety and well-being of our associates is prioritized above everything else. Bimbo Canada is a company free from discrimination, where all people feel included, have equal opportunities and have access to personal and professional development.
Bimbo Canada believes we will be better able to cultivate new ideas and innovation by partnering with vendors with diverse experience, viewpoints and backgrounds. It will also help us make progress in the communities where we operate by partnering with regional, diverse vendors on a variety of local services and needs.
