2023 Corporate Citizenship Year-in-Review

Reflecting on Heaven Hill’s Incredible Impact through Community Relations & Philanthropy, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and Environmental & Sustainability

As we close out 2023, and this month focused on the Spirit of Giving, we want to take a moment to reflect on the collective impact our organization has made in the communities where we live and work. You will notice throughout this look back that the Spirit of Giving is very much alive in our organization throughout the entire year. Together, we strive not just to thrive as a business, but to make meaningful contributions across the globe.
