Control: Foreign (decisions)

Sof Sole operates as a brand under a foreign parent company headquartered in the United States. The True North score is primarily influenced by the lack of domestic ownership and strategic control within Canada. Economic retention is likely limited to distribution and retail-level activity rather than capital or manufacturing flows.
