One of our most important priorities is making a positive contribution to the communities we’re part of, so we look beyond the kitchen to see what we can do to support the people around us. For more detailed information about our community activities, please visit our pladis Global pages.

Whether it’s donating children’s clothes or fundraisers for homeless shelters, our colleagues do their best to create little moments of happiness the world over.
In times of crisis, we harness our expertise and resources to stand by those facing adversity – ensuring no one faces these challenges alone.
For example, after the 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria, we pledged £3 million in support of relief and rebuilding efforts.
We regularly donate products to support people who struggle and go hungry.
Our support stretches across the globe, where our colleagues’ efforts have seen more than 8,000kgs of food donated to food banks so far.
Our colleagues are passionate about supporting causes that are close to their hearts, dedicating their time to making a positive impact.
Whether it’s providing mentoring for young people, restoring disused local facilities, or organising fundraising events, their dedication to bringing happiness shines through in every initiative they undertake.
In the UK, pladis partners with many charities, businesses and organisations to support their great work.
These include Grocery Aid, Mind, Trussell and Andy's Man Club.
