Our Commitment
In 2016, Metro Ontario made a formal commitment to bring our customers more local products in-store. This February, we completed the rollout of the policy across the province. This means you will see more than 550 new local products in stores across Ontario from more than 115 new local suppliers!
Our Principles
Our three guiding principles allows us to optimize the access and promotion of local products, making the company:
1A unique showcase for regional products
2A key partner of Foodland Ontario and associations that promote Ontario products
3A key partner for innovative suppliers
About our policy:
- The Local Sourcing policy is part of Metro’s corporate responsibility policy approach and adds another layer to its mandate for responsible sourcing.
- Metro is the only Canadian food distributor to adopt such a policy using the proposed approach.
- The policy reinforces Metro Ontario’s commitment to showcasing local products in its stores, strengthening relationships with local suppliers and Foodland Ontario.The local sourcing policy launched in Southwestern Ontario (London – Windsor region) on June 15, 2017 followed by St. Lawrence Seaway, South-Western Ontario, The Escarpment Region, Northern Ontario, Thunder Bay and the Greater Toronto Area.
