Réno-Dépôt maintains a significant True North score for operations due to its extensive physical presence and Canadian-based divisional headquarters. However, capital retention is non-existent as the company is ultimately owned by a US-based private equity firm. Strategic control is split between domestic management and foreign ownership.
