Darden is a company that strives to make a positive difference in the lives of others. That is the cornerstone of our culture and is reflected in our passion for our guests and employees. But our desire to make a difference extends beyond our restaurants. It fuels our support for our communities – with a special emphasis on providing opportunity by helping ensure young people have access to postsecondary education.
Whether contributing our time, money or providing opportunity, we balance our concern and commitment to people, the planet and our business. And that means we act ethically, responsibly and with a big heart in all we do.
Green Team At Work
Our commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen is integral to our continued growth. To help preserve and enhance our planet and its resources, Darden is focused on four main areas where we can make a difference: Food Safety; Seafood Sustainability; People; and Energy, Water & Waste. Each of our nearly 1,800 restaurants has a “Green Team” to ensure the implementation of enterprise sustainability practices and to identify new opportunities.
Boys & Girls Club And College Summit
To help young people across the country realize their potential, Darden has expanded our partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and established a new partnership with College Summit, a nonprofit organization that works with schools to strengthen collegegoing culture. Our goal with each is to help enhance the ability of talented and determined young men and women to access postsecondary education. We know firsthand that with a helping hand, these young people can lead us into a bright and vibrant future.
