Ove Decors maintains a high level of economic retention in the areas of capital and control due to its Canadian private ownership and headquarters. The True North score is moderated by an operational model that emphasizes domestic distribution and design while utilizing a global manufacturing supply chain. Retention is strongest in profit repatriation and strategic decision-making within the Quebec region.
