Corporate Social Responsibility

Since 1914, creating happy consumers, supporting the well being of our associates, and reducing waste in our business processes has been a top priority.  Through our corporate social responsibility website, we have the pleasure of providing information about some of our efforts to address the needs of our stakeholders.  We also hope to provide our readers with a chance to get to know us as a company and get to know some of our associates that make it all happen!

At American Licorice, the goal of our corporate social responsibility program is to positively influence our impact on society.  Here are our areas of influence:

• At American Licorice, our goal is to provide happy, consumer experiences.  The focus of our philanthropic efforts is to enhance life experience as well by supporting education and personal development and by promoting physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle.  We are committed to enhancing the lives of of the people in our communities.  We do this through financial contributions and volunteering.
• American Licorice is working to conduct our business in a sustainable and socially responsible manner.  We work hard to use resources efficiently and reduce waste.  We manufacture all our products in the United States, and the majority of our suppliers are also domestically based.  We ask our suppliers to follow standards of the highest product quality that take environmental, social, and ethical concerns and practices into account.
