D’un océan à l’autre, Keurig Dr Pepper Canada offre une boisson pour chacun et pour chaque occasion, et ce, pour tous les Canadiens.

De plus, nous avons évalué que la connaissance de l’anglais déjà exigée des autres employés est insuffisante pour l’exécution des tâches nécessitant la connaissance de l’anglais et que le nombre de postes pour lesquels nous exigeons cette connaissance est le plus restreint possible pour assurer la réalisation efficace de notre mission.
