White Ribbon Australia
White Ribbon is Australia’s only national, male led Campaign which recognises the positive role that men play in putting an end to men’s violence against women. It fosters and encourages male leadership in the prevention of violence against women, based on the understanding that most men are not violent.
The campaign works through primary prevention initiatives including awareness raising, education, programs with youth, schools, workplaces, and across the broader community.
Lactalis Australia is proud to announce that it is participating in the White Ribbon Workplace Accreditation Program. The 16 month program will provide a structured framework to review and enhance our HR policies, procedures and training on what it means to work in a safe and respectful workplace.
St Vincent de Paul Society
An association which began with one employee “sleeping rough” for the night, has morphed into a significant partnership between ‘Vinnies’ and Lactalis Australia .
National Demand and Supply Planning Manager Patrick Vialle was the first to engage with Vinnies, participating in the CEO Sleepout in 2012. “The event was confronting and interesting to me. I wanted to do more for people in need in the community,” he said.
From that night onwards, Lactalis Australia staff started putting their hands up to get involved in different Vinnies’ activities and initiatives, their enthusiasm underpinned by the company’s strong commitment to team engagement.
“Vinnies provides so many “user friendly” activities – for example the clothing drives,” Patrick said. “There’s always more than enough volunteers internally who want to be a part of it. And the greater the depth of involvement, the more energy it creates within the company.”
Lactalis Australia has participated in successful clothing drives, the Christmas giving tree, a fundraising raffle, helped out at the Vinnies Sumner Park warehouse sorting clothes, and taken part annually at the Vinnies CEO Sleepout. Indeed CEO Craig Garvin continued this commitment when he participated in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout in 2013 – with the 1083 CEO’s collectively raising $5.6 million.
