From Our CEO
Guided by our core values, LCBO continues to make remarkable strides across our social impact platform, Spirit of Sustainability (SoS), which is designed to create a more sustainable future for Ontario by supporting the province’s social and environmental needs.
Over the past year, and in addition to a $2.58 billion return to the province of Ontario to support critical services across healthcare, education, and infrastructure, our passionate employees and generous customers helped fundraise over $14 million to support the communities in which we live and work.
We have continued to focus on initiatives across our three strategic pillars – Good People, Good Planet, and Good Partnerships – that improve the well-being of our customers, employees, and communities across Ontario, that minimize our impact on the environment, and that improve the sustainability of the industry through leadership and partnerships.
Each pillar has clear goals that allow us to measure our impact and ensure our efforts are pushing the industry and province forward. This year’s report highlights the progress we’ve made in driving meaningful and equitable change in our communities, being the industry leader in sustainable practices, and taking better care of our planet.
Sustainability is a journey. To ensure we are holistically driving impact, we are next creating an environment, social, and governance (ESG), strategy that elevates Spirit of Sustainability. Our ESG strategy will simplify, align, integrate, and communicate our environmental, social and governance actions and commitments in a way that carves out our unique point of view.
We believe it’s the LCBO’s responsibility to lead by example and act. This is why we are integrating sustainability across our business. We remain committed to these principles as we navigate the path ahead, working towards a better Ontario for all.
