Community

We invest in the places where our team members live and work: direct giving, long-term investment in our sites, and support for organizations close to our facilities.

Our Approach

We partner with the communities around our facilities rather than run programs at a distance. Our core values of teamwork, fairness, caring and results apply to this work in the same way they apply to the business.

Charitable Giving

Sazerac supports causes ranging from cancer care to animal welfare, alongside recipients of the Eagle Rare Life Award. Over the past two years, we have donated more than $10.4 million to community causes from cancer care to animal welfare. [NEEDS FACT: named charity partners cleared for publication]
