– The 10th edition of the prestigious Environment Phenix Award ceremony, which took place in Quebec on May 31, honoured the METRO reusable bag in the Residual Matter Management category.

The Environment Phenix Awards enable to give recognition for the outstanding actions made by companies or institutions in favour of natural patrimony in view of a long-lasting development.

Nearly 2 million reusable grocery bags have been sold since the concept was launched in January 2006, an indication of just how popular the bags are with Metro, Metro Plus, Super C, Marché Richelieu supermarket consumers as well as with our Brunet drugstores clientele. Moreover, a portion of the money raised with the sale of these bags allowed the donation of an amount of $15,000 to ENvironnement JEUnesse, a non-profit organization whose mission is to reinforce the development of an environmental conscience and awareness of critical issues among young people.
