LET’S CHANGE
our FUTURE
As Canada’s oldest company, Hudson’s Bay is working to reconcile its past and is committed to change for a more equitable future for all. 351 years after Hudson’s Bay Company was granted its Royal Charter, Hudson’s Bay Foundation is marking the anniversary with a new one: a promise to accelerate racial equity by changing how we invest in communities. Hudson’s Bay Foundation’s new focus begins with a ten-year, $30 million commitment.
This year, Hudson’s Bay Foundation is beginning long-term partnerships with organizations working to advance racial equity and inclusion in Canada. Change takes time, and we’re committed. Here are our impact targets for the next 10 years.
