NOMA attains a True North score characterized by high domestic capital and control retention due to its status as a house brand of a major Canadian retailer. While profits and strategic decisions remain in Canada, the physical manufacturing operations and material sourcing are primarily global. The economic benefit is concentrated in the corporate and retail levels rather than industrial manufacturing.
