For the second consecutive year, Store 3006 in Brockville, Ontario, was named Walmart Canada’s Sustainability Store of the Year at Walmart Canada’s annual Year Beginning Meeting held in March 2025.
The Brockville store does an excellent job at managing waste and making the most of our Customer Value Program (CVP). This program involves marking down perishable items that are imperfect and nearing their sell-by date. The store also remains a strong supporter of their local food bank, donating 91,000 pounds of safe, surplus food and products to the Brockville and Area Food Bank last year.
“I’m so incredibly proud our store won this prestigious award again. This recognition reflects our hard work and dedication towards making our operations more sustainable,” said Greg Payne, Store Manager, Brockville Walmart. “We embrace sustainable practices, and our collective efforts stand out. Every associate contributed to this achievement. This award is not just a plaque. It represents our shared values and our unwavering commitment to sustainability. Our associates are passionate about making a difference and hearing the impact of our donations inspires us to do even more.”
Walmart Canada's 2024 Sustainability Success
In 2024, Walmart Canada celebrated many sustainability wins, including:
- Launching a national reusable bag recycling program with TerraCycle to help Canadians give reusable bags a second life
- Sponsoring the planting of 30,000 trees in collaboration with Tree Canada to celebrate our 30th anniversary
- Donating 11.6 million pounds of safe, surplus food and products to food banks across the country.
A huge thank you to our stores, our distribution centres and home office for their support with these initiatives and for all they do to protect the environment and help us create a more sustainable future.
And congratulations again to our Brockville store for their environmental stewardship and leadership!
