Béaba is a French-owned manufacturer whose value chain is primarily situated outside of Canada. Its True North score reflects a high degree of capital and control outflow, as both ownership and strategic direction are centralized in Europe. Spending on this brand contributes minimally to Canadian economic retention beyond retail-level margins.
