Our Efforts

Discover the initiatives Reitmans (Canada) Limited has been taking to be the most responsible version of ourselves, both in-office and on the racks.

Plastic

Our Reitmans stores carry reusable shopping bags in recycled polyester and 100% cotton, and we strongly encourage our customers to reuse their own when possible.

Carbon Neutral Shipping

We're excited to offer carbon neutral shipping for all our Canada Post online orders.

Packaging

The materials used in our online packaging 
are made of recycled post-consumer content and are recyclable.

Head Office

We've eliminated the need for single-use plastic bottles by revamping our water fountains. Our cafeteria is stocked with compostable cups, cutlery, and take-out containers. We've also reduced paper waste by implementing
our Printer Optimization Project.

Paper

We successfully eliminated packing slips in e-commerce orders in the final quarter of 2023. 
 This change represents a savings of over 4.2 million sheets of paper annually.

Recycling

Partnering with once-used box distributor Rebox for internal shipments has led to a net reduction of carbon dioxide emissions of 1,865 tonnes and allowed us to save 6.1 million gallons of water in 2024.

Celebrating the Earth

At Reitmans, we know change starts with us. Every day is a new opportunity to have a positive impact through everything we do, both in our efforts at home and with our year-round initiatives and campaigns.

This year, we're excited to work with non-profit organization Tree Canada once again to aid in their tree planting efforts with a $10,000 donation. Together, we pledge to plant another 4 000 trees thanks to their continued partnership with Natural Resource Canada's 2 Billion Trees Program.

We're proud to partner with Tree Canada in our ongoing journey toward a more responsible future.
