Swiss Natural achieves a high True North score due to its ownership by a Canadian public entity and the concentration of its strategic and manufacturing operations within Canada. While global sourcing for raw ingredients is standard for the sector, the economic retention remains high via domestic capital and labor. The score is bolstered by the parent company's long-standing infrastructure in Windsor and Toronto.

True North: 90/100

Shoppers Drug Mart achieves a high True North score, reflecting its deep integration into the Canadian economy. As a subsidiary of a Canadian parent, its capital retention and strategic control remain domestic. While product sourcing is global, the physical operational footprint and profit flows are heavily weighted toward Canada.

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.

True North: 40/100

Rexall maintains a substantial physical and operational presence within Canada, contributing significantly to domestic employment. However, its True North score is impacted by its status as a subsidiary of a US-based multinational, meaning ultimate capital retention and strategic control reside outside of Canada. The company functions as a key domestic service provider under foreign ownership.
