Social Responsibility campaign for April: Earth Day
BC Liquor Stores is committed to being environmentally responsible and has been a leader in sustainable retailing in BC for nearly 50 years. In-store green initiatives include container recycling, sustainable products and plastic bag reduction. In fact, our paper bags are 50% post-consumer recycled content and in 2015, our lighter plastic bags saved 21,000 kg of plastic by design - equivalent to the weight of 78 adult grizzly bears!
