Loblaw Releases 2024 Live Life Well® Report, Underscoring Commitment to Canada’s Prosperity

Highlights include progress in the company’s commitments to fighting climate change and advancing social equity

BRAMPTON, ON – MAY 1, 2025 – Loblaw Companies Limited’s (TSX: L, “Loblaw”) success as a proud Canadian company is directly linked to the success and prosperity of Canada as a whole. When our communities are strong, we are collectively more resilient, more successful, and more connected.

Today, Loblaw proudly shares its progress relative to these two important priorities, with the release of the 18th annual 2024 Live Life Well report(Open in a new tab).

From Loblaw’s perspective, two of the many ways we contribute to the strength of the nation are by fighting climate change and advancing social equity. By reducing our carbon emissions and tackling food and plastic waste, we are helping to make Canadian communities healthier. By supporting the health and wellness of women and children, we are helping to make our communities stronger and more resilient.

“We have the greatest impact when we’re able to help Canadian communities thrive,” said Per Bank, President and CEO, Loblaw Companies Limited. “That can involve delivering value, supporting Canadians with their healthcare needs, doing our part in fighting climate change and advancing social equity, and more. When we see ways to make Canada stronger, we’ll explore them, because we know we can have a big impact on the people and places we serve.”
