The Beer Store Recognized as One of Canada’s Greenest Employers

This special designation recognizes the employers that lead the nation in creating a culture of environmental awareness in their organizations. The Beer Store was selected due to operating our longstanding beer bottle deposit program since 1927, recycling products we manage beyond containers, and directing our returns program to raise funds for charities.

“The convenient return-to-retail packaging recovery system perfected by the Ontario brewing industry continues to provide an excellent example of how smart business embraces environmental responsibility. The Beer Store system involves co-operation by the entire supply chain to ensure that distribution of full goods is complemented with back-haul recovery of reusable and recyclable packaging – an approach that offers tremendous environmental and bottom line gains.”
