Control: Canada (decisions)

Soak exhibits strong domestic retention, reflected in its True North score, primarily due to its Canadian ownership and localized manufacturing operations. Strategic control remains within Canada, ensuring that most economic value generated by the brand stays within the country. While the manufacturing footprint is domestic, the sourcing of raw ingredients remains unverified.
