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.
