Montreal, December 21, 2023 - Today, METRO publishes its corporate responsibility (CR) report, covering its food and pharmacy activities for the 2023 fiscal year. Responsible procurement remains one of its key focus areas, as the company continues to improve the transparency of its supply chain.
METRO is also actively working to increase the resilience of its business by addressing physical and transitional climate risks. For the first time, the company is disclosing these risks and opportunities in accordance with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework. In addition, METRO remains firmly committed to equity, diversity and inclusion (ED&I), as evidenced by its progress toward these objectives.
"The company is on track to achieve its corporate responsibility objectives by 2026. Our teams have been working diligently on major projects aligned with our CR plan, because we are determined to achieve our objectives. We believe that our approach to corporate responsibility is an asset in realizing our purpose, which is to nourish the health and well-being of our communities, and evolving our business to meet the changing needs of society," said Eric La Flèche, President and CEO of METRO.
