GRI reporting

The goal for our first Sobeys Sustainability Report is to provide a thorough and transparent assessment of our sustainability activities. The framework we have used to measure and report our results is the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) – Level C. We believe the material to be as accurate as possible, and will provide updates as available.
