USA: Hispanic magazine has named Coors Brewing Company, a subsidiary of Molson Coors Brewing Company, among the list of companies that provides the most opportunities for Hispanics, PRNewswire communicated on February 25. Hispanic magazine's "Corporate 100" list is based on companies' diversity training, recruitment efforts, ethnic representation on their boards, other minority business initiatives and funding for Latino-related causes.

"It's a great honor for Hispanic magazine to recognize our commitment to our Hispanic workforce and the Latino community," said Kevin Holland, Chief
People Officer, for Coors Brewing Company. "At Coors, diversity is core to the way we do business every day and our commitment is to actively promote diversity in the workplace."

As one example of Coors' commitment to the Hispanic community, Hispanic magazine cited Coors' annual Cena en el Barrio program, which in conjunction with local non-profit organizations in New York, New Jersey, Denver, San Diego and Los Angeles provided holiday meals for needy families. Last year, Coors and its distributors provided meals to more than 28,000 families through the program.

Coors Brewing Company is a leader in corporate diversity and volunteerism, nationally recognized as a champion of the Hispanic community in education, adult literacy, cause-related business contributions, and cultural arts support. Coors employees are actively involved in a variety of organizations, including the Coors Hispanic Employees Network (CHEN), which helps with Denver-area events and activities in the Hispanic community, including assisting needy college-bound students with annual scholarships.

Coors Brewing Company is a subsidiary of Molson Coors Brewing Company. It is the third largest brewer in the U.S. The company's U.S. brands include Coors Light, Molson Canadian, Coors, Aspen Edge, Killian's Irish Red, Keystone, Blue Moon, Coors NA and Zima XXX.
