Generous Corporations

The first company I looked at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is the biggest cash contributor in the Forbes list of most charitable companies in 2009.The discount retail chain gave $288.1 million in cash, and almost $200 million more in products. Wal-Mart Canada is involved in the protection and conservation of the environment in the communities where they have stores. To effectively manage the responsibilities and ensure the operation of all the Wal-Mart stores have as little impact on the surrounding environment as possible, they make every effort to reduce the amount of waste the stores produce and send to landfills through recovery and recycling programs for numerous materials.

Wal-Mart supports lots of community programs in Canada.

Children's Miracle Network
Since 1994 they have raised and donated close to $20 million for Canadian Children's hospitals

Breakfast Clubs of Canada
Wal-Mart Canada associates raise funds to support community-based child nutrition programs.

Canadian Red Cross

Second company I chose is Pfizer. New York-based pharmaceutical company Pfizer ranked No.1 in the list of the most generous corporations which gave cash and products most in 2009. The company contributed $2,346,952,232 to charities, equivalent to 24.2% of its 2008 profits. Pfizer Canada is active in the communities with a focus that reflects they core belief that, to be truly healthy, it takes more than medication. Each year, Pfizer partners with more than 1,000 non-profit organizations in the country, with most investments based upon long-term, sustained relationships and initiatives. They also provide free medications to needy Canadians and support international humanitarian missions and disaster relief efforts.
These two organizations are playing important role as sustainable companies.
