Our Sustainability Journey

At Stong’s Market, we take our responsibility to focus on sustainability and the health of our planet seriously.  Through these business practices, Stong's Market is making a difference to Mother Nature with the following:

  • Four people wearing matching green shirts participating in a community cleanup, holding large trash bags filled with litter, outdoors on a sunny day with blooming trees and a street in the background.

    Green Team

    Our Stong’s Green Team visit local spots with clean up days! 

  • Logo with a peach and a leaf, and the text 'Too Good to Go' in a circular arrangement.

    Too Good To Go App

    Did you know as much as 50 million tonnes of edible food in Canada goes to waste each year?  Customers can enjoy delicious food by downloading the app and selecting a discounted Surprise Bag. In the last 12 months we have saved 3,224 meals, as well as 8.7 metric tonnes of CP2 equivalents saved from going to waste.

  • Cartoon carrot with a white label featuring a black stylized 'F' and a leaf on top.

    Food Stash Foundation

    We are proud of our partnership with Food Stash Foundation, a local Vancouver charity that assists food insecure individuals and families in our community.  Food that is still delicious, but close to its expiry date, is picked up weekly by Food Stash. 

  • Logo for Ocean Wise, featuring a stylized whale with waves, and the words 'Ocean Wise' and 'Recommended'.

    Ocean Wise Partnership

    Stong’s Market become an official partner with Ocean Wise in 2021.  Ocean Wise is an ocean conservation program that allows customers to choose sustainable seafood options. 

  • A logo with an illustration of a fishing boat and the text 'Skipper Otto' beneath it.

    This community supported fishery supports Canadian fishing families through a revolutionary, sustainable seafood buying experience.  Our customers have direct access to fresh wild, sustainable BC seafood. 

  • EcoChit logo on a green background with a white circular leaf icon.

    Elimination of Automatic Checkout Receipts

    Each time we process a transaction at our checkouts, we give our customers the choice to have a receipt printed or not.  This has cut down on the amount of paper that is used in our stores.  If they do select a receipt, it’s printed on eco-friendly paper from EcoChit.

    Replenish Café

    Customers are encouraged to bring their own tumblers to our café and receive a discount off their drink.  The less disposable cups handed out, the better for our earth.
