CSR was formed as the Colonial Sugar Refining Company in 1855. The Company at its peak employed approximately 15,000 people and was ranked in the top 100 of Companies on the Australian Share market. In December 2010, CSR sold its sugar and ethanol business, Sucrogen, to the Singaporean company Wilmar. This was of major historical significance to a great many previous employees, most of whom had been employed at some time in one of CSR's Sugar businesses be they Sugar Milling or Refining.
The Company was always very employee-focused and there are a great many employees who had worked for the Company all their lives – certainly 30 years service was not uncommon and there were many who achieved 40+ years. Similarly there are many 2nd and even 3rd generation employees who demonstrated the loyalty and commitment most staff felt towards the Company. This past employees' association was set up to recognize this long association people have to the Company and to the people who have been employed in it. The Association aims to facilitate communication and interaction amongst CSR past and present employees.
This Website has been set up as part of this process and has been designed to allow members to communicate with other previous employees. Listed on the right are the Sections on this Website with a brief description of each.
