Being a Responsible Company

We’re creating more eco-conscious stores on a global scale.

Our new design approach involves sourcing local materials and craftspeople to create stores that reflect the culture of the surrounding neighborhood.

We've always believed that businesses can - and should - have a positive impact on the communities they serve.

So ever since we opened our first store in 1971, we dedicated ourselves to earning the trust and respect of our customers, partners and neighbours. How? By being responsible and doing things that are good for the planet and each other.

  1. Community

    As good neighbours we get involved with local efforts to bring people together and create positive change whenever we can.

  2. Environment

    We’re finding ways to minimize our environmental footprint, tackle climate change, and inspire others to do the same.
