2024
In 2024, AGI teams worldwide continued to champion local causes through charitable donations and volunteering, showcasing their incredible generosity and passion to improve the communities in which we operate.
Global Initiatives
Increasing global food security
In December 2024, AGI organized a global food drive, where we collected and distributed non-perishable food items in support of local food banks. Over 10 different food banks were supported globally, helping to fight hunger. Some examples include Manitoba Harvest in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto, Ontario, Loaves and Fishes in Naperville, Illinois, and Banco Alimentare in Italy, among others.
Regional Highlights
In addition to this global effort, our teams drove local community impact in their respective regions:

AGI released a pink limited-edition Batco UCX³ U-Trough belt conveyor, raising a total of $66,375 CAD for the Canadian Cancer Society.
United States
Driving community health and well-being outcomes
Employees at our Omaha facility hosted a blood drive for the American Red Cross Society.
Our Joplin facility raised funds to support a foster care organization, Fostering Hope.
Brazil
Flood relief support
The AGI team in Brazil supported flood victims in Rio Grande do Sul by collecting approximately 9,000 kg of donations including clothing, food, drinking water, and other essential items in support of SOS Rio Grande do Sul, a government agency.
Holiday donations
Over 1,000 employees donated toys and food to children during the holiday season in support of the Sopão de Assis Charity.
India
Providing access to clean drinking water
The AGI India team donated water purifier systems to two government-led primary schools in Bangalore, providing clean drinking water to school children to enhance health outcomes and minimize water-related illness.
Increasing access to critical agricultural infrastructure
AGI funded the establishment of food processing equipment at India’s Central Food Technological Research Institute campus, for use by smallholder farmers, self-help groups (i.e., informal associations of individuals, primarily rural women) and actors from other agriculture and food processing sectors.
