Maple Leaf Foods Releases First Integrated Report Consolidating 2022 Financial and Sustainability Performance

MISSISSAUGA, ON, - Maple Leaf Foods Inc. (TSX: MFI) today released its first annual integrated report, bringing together its 2022 financial and sustainability performance under one umbrella. This approach to reporting more clearly demonstrates the interconnectivity between the company's sustainability initiatives, business strategy and performance, and provides a more holistic view of how sustainability is woven into all aspects of the company's business and commitment to creating shared value over time through strategic action, leadership and transparency.

In his opening Letter to Stakeholders, Maple Leaf Foods' Executive Chair and CEO, Michael McCain, reflects on 2022 and the challenges created by a post-pandemic world characterized by hyper-inflation, supply chain disruptions, labour challenges and the persistent and intensifying climate crisis. 

"These pressures have tested our resilience and challenged our optimism. Yet I remain an optimist – focused on the long-term, grounded in the knowledge that our business fundamentals are strong, and certain of the success we will achieve as we execute our strategy," McCain said. "The United Nations has warned that we are on a path to untold human disaster without rapid, far-reaching, and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society. We are using our voice and our actions to make a difference."
