A set of initiatives announced yesterday include philanthropy, reinforcing a zero-tolerance policy in the workplace, supporting Black-owned wine and spirits businesses and community outreach.
The philanthropic initiatives include a financial grant to the Equal Justice Initiative, which seeks to end mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the U.S., to challenge racial and economic injustice, and to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.
Also: A new Endowed Scholarship Fund at Florida A&M University. The Southern Glazer’s Against Social Injustice and Racial Inequality Endowed Scholarship Fund will grant four scholarships a year for five years to deserving candidates that have an unmet financial need. These actions build upon the Company’s already established relationship with the University.
