True North: 40/100

Well.ca maintains a significant operational footprint and employment base in Canada as a digital-first retailer. Its True North score is impacted by its ownership structure, as it is a subsidiary of a US-based multinational, leading to a total outflow of capital and ultimate strategic control. Domestic economic retention is primarily achieved through operational expenditures and logistics infrastructure.
