Community. Well-Being.
Social Responsibility.
The Penn Project is all about our collective
efforts to strengthen the communities we’re part of. As a proud Canadian company, we value
building meaningful relationships with #PennGals from coast to coast by supporting causes that are nearest to
their hearts.
The Penn Project is rooted in 3 foundational pillars that make up the fabric of our brand DNA:
community, well-being and social responsibility. Join us in making a difference, one step at a time.
One heart is powerful; but a collective
heart is unstoppable.
This International Women's Day, to celebrate all women and honor our amazing #PennGals community, we are very excited to launch our new series of PENN. Talks, called "Breaking Free". We captured honest and inspiring conversations between 11 incredible women from the #PennGals community. Conversations about breaking barriers, whether they are barriers society has placed on us as women or even ones that we’ve placed on ourselves. Get inspired by following the link below.
