Why a career at Maple Leaf Foods?

Let our people tell you.

Mauricio in Sustainability

“One of the things that I love about working here is the fact that Maple Leaf does invest a ton in continuous learning, continuous improvement. It’s part of our DNA and you see it everywhere.”

— Mauricio, Sustainability

Kate in Engineering

“I think that this ‘working with purpose’ idea is something that really makes it possible to reconcile our work in the meat industry with a lot of thinking that’s outside of the meat industry right now. We found a really neat way to try to create shared value for both our shareholders and the community with our strategy of being the most sustainable protein company on earth.”

— Kate, Engineering

Josh in Sales

“Diversity is the right thing to do from a business perspective. Hiring a diverse team is a fight against complacency. It’s a focus on different ideas, different perspectives that get you to a better end result.  There’s a bottom-line benefit. There’s a human benefit. It’s something we believe in, and it’s something that we embrace.”

— Josh, Sales
