Corporate Giving
Corporate citizenship fuels our actions at Horizon Beverage. A defining characteristic of citizenship is to help those who need support and to give back to others when you have the means to do so.
Horizon Beverage fosters and stands by the belief that our socially responsible company is a collection of individuals seeking the same set of goals. By making corporate giving one of our goals, we empower our people to harness Horizon’s success and size to make a significant impact on causes that are important to all of us.
