Wal-Mart Canada will host a Green Product Fair tailored to Canadian suppliers on August 29 in Montreal.
The event will give suppliers of environmentally-friendly products the chance to showcase their merchandise to a range of Wal-Mart Canada buyers.
The fair is designed to expand the scope of green products already available to Canadians at Wal-Mart stores across the country and is limited to producers and distributors of eco-friendly, organic or fair trade products.
The event is the latest initiative in Wal-Mart Canada's vast Greener Good program launched earlier this year to drive the company's long-range goals to generate zero waste, to be powered 100 percent by renewable energy, and to be a leader in providing products that are good for the environment.
Wal-Mart Canada's Green Fair is also part of the Purchased in Quebec program so Quebecers can get Quebec products that can significant help the environment.
The Fair will feature Mario Pilozzi, President and CEO of Wal-Mart Canada. It will be held at the Centre Mont-Royal in Montreal on August 29 beginning at 7:30 a.m.
The Green Fair is another example of a forward thinking action by a major corporation's Canadian division. Wonder if it is a sign of things to come for Wal-Mart in the US?
