At Republic National Distributing Company, our commitment to corporate social responsibility is to make a positive difference that enriches the spirit and well-being of our Associates, Communities, and Business Partners. We are accountable to principled business practices and corporate governance that protect and benefit our framework of families.
At Republic National Distributing Company, our corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitment is to create a workplace that engages and inspires our associates and communities. As part of our commitment, our goal is to include and recognize all associates who contribute to the success of RNDC. Throughout September and October, we paid special recognition to National Hispanic Heritage Month.
Our drivers are essential members of the company's continued success. Not only do they deliver products safely and efficiently, they also help us maintain a great rapport with our customers. Markets across the company celebrated Driver Appreciation Week with different activities to show our appreciation.
To each and every RNDC driver, thank you for being an integral part of the RNDC family!
RNDC is excited to announce that the company will be a $75,000 sponsor for the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Movement, expanding the relationship between the two companies. The sponsorship exemplifies RNDC’s spirit of responsibility to its associates and community.
Funds from the $75,000 sponsorship will support several AHA programs:
Recess Reboot
Go Red for Women Movement
Volunteer Opportunities
At RNDC relationships matter, and we genuinely care about the well-being of our associates, especially in times of need. In 2005, we established the RNDC Relief Fund to provide financial assistance to associates who had suffered great personal losses due to natural disasters.
Each year, many of our associates participate in an internal donation campaign to raise money for the fund, with all donations being matched by RNDC. In true generosity of spirit, the Relief Fund Donation Campaign raised a total of $1.5 million for current and future relief efforts. Your generous support of the RNDC Relief Fund is truly appreciated. You have made a positive and lasting difference to our RNDC family.
The continued success of RNDC is dependent upon the trust of our suppliers, customers and community. RNDC is dedicated to preserving that trust. As a socially responsible beverage alcohol distributor, we take the responsible use of alcohol very seriously and expect our associates to act in a way that will merit the continued trust and confidence of those we serve.
To help in this effort and in the spirit of our core value of accountability, RNDC provides Alcohol Awareness training to educate and inform our associates of the expectations and policies regarding the consumption of alcohol. This required annual event helps our associates make educated, ethical decisions.
In addition to our veteran and active duty associates, RNDC celebrates military spouses' contributions to keeping America safe. They are the heroes at home who are vital to the strength of our nation and serve our country just as their loved ones do.
"I am truly blessed to work for a company that has been so supportive. I have been able to transfer with RNDC multiple times as a military spouse." -Annmarie Burmeister, RNDC Sales Representative
"I have learned that service in the Armed Forces doesn’t always end when your tour ends. 'Thank you for your service' may seem like a small thing to say, but it means so much for them to hear that their sacrifices are noticed and appreciated." -Donna Vasko, RNDC Administrative Assistant
The RNDC Relief Fund provides financial support to RNDC associates negatively impacted by natural disasters. The Fund was created following the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and 100 percent of dollars donated go directly to RNDC associates in need. RNDC associates, suppliers, customers and other service providers are able to donate to the Relief Fund.
