ESG & Sustainability
Embedded in our identity as a responsible long-term steward
Jolina Capital integrates environmental, social, and governance considerations into every part of its investment strategy. Sustainable operations strengthen resilience, reduce risk, and support long-term performance.
We believe that long-term economic success is inseparable from environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and governance excellence. Our sustainability priorities continue to evolve as we invest in modernization, circular economy initiatives, digital monitoring systems, and community impact strategies.
Environmental Responsibility
Environmental responsibility is central to our forestry and dairy operations. We support sustainable forestry practices, reforestation programs, emissions reductions, waste minimization, water stewardship, and investments in energy-efficient technologies. We require strict compliance with environmental regulations, certifications, and reporting frameworks.
In the dairy sector, sustainability includes responsible sourcing, food safety excellence, modernized production systems, and reduced environmental impact through energy and water optimization. In forestry, Arbec follows long-term harvest planning, biodiversity protection, and responsible resource utilization.
Social Responsibility
Social responsibility is essential to our identity. We support worker safety, long-term employment, talent development, community integration, and fair labor practices. Our portfolio companies invest in training, safety programs, leadership development, and community engagement.
We prioritize partnerships with Indigenous communities in forestry regions, support agricultural communities through Saputo's supply chains, and contribute to rural and urban economic health across Canada.
Governance Excellence
Governance is the backbone of ESG. We require transparent reporting, ethical conduct, risk oversight, compliance frameworks, and strong board leadership. ESG metrics are integrated into strategic planning, performance tracking, and executive oversight.
Portfolio Sustainability
Arbec Forest Products
Arbec Forest Products operates with sustainable forestry practices, adhering to strict provincial and national regulations. Sustainable harvesting, reforestation, habitat protection, and long-term forest planning ensure that operations support environmental regeneration rather than depletion.
Saputo Inc.
Saputo prioritizes sustainable dairy production through energy efficiency programs, water conservation, waste reduction, packaging innovation, and responsible sourcing from dairy farmers. These initiatives support global sustainability goals and reduce the environmental footprint of food production.
"Sustainability is not a separate initiative—it is part of how we invest, operate, lead, and create value for the future."
A Family Tradition of Giving Back
At Jolina Capital, we believe that true success includes the responsibility to uplift others. The Amelia & Lino Saputo Foundation is the heart of that belief — a place where compassion meets action, and where community support becomes a shared purpose.
Founded by Amelia and Lino Saputo, the Foundation was created to help young people, families, and communities build brighter futures. Its mission is simple but powerful: support organizations that educate, empower, heal, and inspire.
Areas of Focus
The Foundation lives within Jolina Capital because our belief is clear: strong enterprises and strong communities grow together. When we support people, we support the future.
