Sustainability
There are two major sustainability strategy's that Sobeys uses:
1. “Business and personal strategies and practices that promote the long-term well-being of the environment, society and the bottom line.” Food Marketing Institute
2. “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” World Commission on Environment and Development (Brundtland Report), 1987
Both definitions involve adopting behaviours that respect the earth’s “carrying capacity”.At Sobeys, our sustainability strategy is primarily focused on our impact on the environment, an approach that complements our financial, community and social initiatives. Sobeys continously shows this throughout the year.

Greener Communities
One promotional tool that sobeys uses effectively is public relations. Sobeys is well known for its community involvement and giving back it serves. This is communicated through environmental actions. In 2006, Sobeys introduced the reusable grocery bag "Green Bag for life" in an effort to help protect the environment. Also, they provided in-store plastic bag recycling, added recycled content to plastic bags, and used stickers as a proof of purchase on larger items to reduce the use of bags. Later on the implemented a 5cent fee to plastic and paper bags to encourage customers to support their reusable options. Sobeys continues to make changes better fit their customers needs.
Compliments Junior Disney Kids
Sobeys provides a variety of healthy foods for all ages especially for younger children. It benefits children and the busy families in the community. Recently, Sobeys made a food line called "Compliments Junior Disney Kids". This food line helps support the community by preparing pre-made and nutritious foods to fit families with a busy lifestyle. Also, this food line is great because it puts the fun back into food and takes the guesswork out of grocery shopping. An example of one of these delicious meals are shown below:
