Today, our partner Second Harvest released a report entitled The Avoidable Crisis of Food Waste: Update. This new research, funded by Loblaw, reveals that over 46% of all food in Canada is wasted every year – 41% of which is avoidable.   Good food should be eaten not tossed. We’re committed to sending zero food to landfill by 2030 and to feeding more families in Canada.

Last year, Loblaw launched “Ask for Angela” in partnership with Victim Services Toronto to help women facing violence across the GTA. Today, I’m pleased to share that we’ve joined forces with Women’s Crisis Services (WCSWR) of Waterloo Region to expand the “Ask for Angela” program across Waterloo. The program’s expansion really speaks to the urgency for safety and care that violence-affected women, gender-diverse individuals and children need. According to WCSWR, since 2020, there has been a marked increase in the level of violence and injury to victims who’ve been attended to at the Waterloo hospital.   We’re proud to be the first retailer in Canada to introduce “Ask for Angela”, and I’m confident this program’s remarkable ability will create a safer community in Waterloo.   How does it work? The program revolves around discreetly approaching staff members at participating Loblaw stores and requesting “Angela” as a code-phrase. This will signal to staff that the individual needs support. Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region will be contacted for support.   Read the news release to learn more on how the program works and about WCSWR. https://lnkd.in/dJ8s962u

Today, we’re celebrating Atlantic Superstore 325 which has donated over 200,000 pounds of food in Q1, 2024 to L’Atelier R.A.D.O.

And we’re striving to do more this year. Kudos to the team!      #loblawco #reducefoodwaste #loblawco “    *** Aujourd'hui, nous célébrons l'Atlantic Superstore 325 qui a fait don de plus de 90 000 kilogrammes de denrées au cours du T1 de 2024 à L'Atelier R.A.D.O.

In our stores, offices or distribution centres, you may hear the term “Blue” Culture. This describes the culture we’ve been building over the past decade. A culture that strives for people to show up as their authentic self, build trust, and make connections. To improve the ways we work together, thousands of people have experienced a culture shaping workshop called b3 – better me, better we, and better Loblaw. It has helped improve open and honest communication, feedback and recognition, and sense of belonging. It allows each of us to bring our difference and make our difference, and helps to continue improving gender and racial diversity in our leadership ranks. Because of this, Waterstone has recognized Loblaw as having one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures. Learn more about our people and culture at Loblaw.ca https://lnkd.in/eDd2FZsv . #BringYourDifference #MakeYourDifference #LifeAtLoblaw #Culture #Careers Dans nos magasins, nos bureaux ou nos centres de distribution, vous entendrez peut-être parler de culture "bleue". Ce terme décrit la culture que nous avons développée au cours de la dernière décennie. Une culture qui s'efforce d'amener les gens à se montrer sous leur vrai jour, à instaurer la confiance et à créer des liens. Afin d'améliorer notre façon de travailler ensemble, des milliers de collègues ont participé à un atelier de façonnement de la culture appelé m3 - meilleur moi, meilleur nous et meilleur Loblaw. Cet atelier a permis d'améliorer la communication ouverte et honnête, la rétroaction et la reconnaissance, ainsi que le sentiment d'appartenance. Il permet à chacun d'entre nous d'amener sa différence et de faire la différence, et de continuer à améliorer la diversité des sexes et des races dans nos rangs de direction. C'est pourquoi Waterstone a reconnu Loblaw comme ayant l'une des cultures d'entreprise les plus admirées du Canada.

While ‘SBTi’ may not mean a lot to most people, in the ESG world, it carries a lot of weight. The Science Based Targets initiative, or SBTi, is a global corporate climate action organization that helps companies and financial institutions effectively combat the climate crisis. They support companies with setting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that align with broader efforts to keep global temperatures below catastrophic levels and with achieving net-zero by 2050. Today I am pleased to share that the SBTi has approved Loblaw Companies Ltd.’s near-term science-based emissions reduction targets. This approval relates to two of our carbon-related targets: •                   We commit to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50% by 2030 from a 2020 base year. •                   We commit that 70% of our suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services will have science-based targets by 2027. You can read more about our net-zero plan here: https://lnkd.in/gZAWPfAm This is a significant milestone on our path towards net-zero and I want to sincerely thank those who made this happen - Tom Marson, Twish Mehta, MSE, P.Eng., PMP, Alain Brandon, Melanie Agopian, MBA, Gabriella Carrier, your hard work and dedication to this cause is making a real impact on our path to fight climate change and help Canadians Live Life Well®
