Community Impact
As a leading food manufacturing and agricultural company, we believe we have an economic and social responsibility to make a positive and long-term difference. We strive to act responsibly with integrity, maintaining balance and creating value for all — from our employees to our customers, and the broader communities in which we operate.
The activities that we support include addressing food security, supporting initiatives that promote health and wellbeing, and programs that address sustainability.
In addition to these corporate sponsorships, many local community organisations in close proximity to one of our major operations are supported through our community sponsorship program.
Foodbank Australia
Foodbank Australia is the largest hunger relief agency in Australia. Each year Simplot Australia participates in Foodbank’s Collaborative Supply Program. As part of this program we manufacture more than 200,000 jars of Leggo’s Napoletana Pasta Sauce annually - enough to feed 560,000 people. Learn more about our involvement in Foodbank’s Collaborative Supply Program.

Community Sponsorship
For more than 25 years, Simplot and the brands you love and trust have been synonymous with the locations within which we operate.
In continuation of our commitment to supporting local organisations, our annual Community Sponsorships provide select groups with a donation valued at up to $2,500 to support their local initiatives. It’s our way of saying thanks to our local communities for having us in your backyard.
Supporting Our Communities
We support organisations that make a real and long-term difference to communities within which we operate. They must tangibly link to our purpose, mission, and values, and align with one of the following categories:
Food Security
