Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “believes”, “estimates”, “intends” and other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees, but only predictions. Although the Company believes that these statements are based on information and assumptions which are current, reasonable and complete, these statements are necessarily subject to a number of factors that could cause actual results to vary significantly from the estimates, projections and intentions. Such differences may be caused by factors which include, but are not limited to, changes in consumer spending and preferences, heightened competition including new competitors and expansion of current competitors, the ability to realize anticipated cost savings, including those resulting from restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives, the ability to execute restructuring plans effectively, the Company’s relationship with its employees, results of labour negotiations including the terms of future collective bargaining agreements, changes to the regulatory environment in which the Company operates now or in the future, changes in the Company’s tax liabilities, either through changes in tax laws or future assessments, performance of third party service providers, public health events, the ability of the Company to attract and retain key executives and supply and quality control issues with vendors. The Company cautions that this list of factors is not exhaustive. A discussion of these factors and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in the Company’s materials filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities from time to time, including in the Risks and Risk Management section of the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis in its 2005 Annual Report. The assumptions applied in making the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Information Form include the following: economic conditions in 2006 do not materially change from those expected, patterns of consumer spending are reasonably consistent with historical trends, no new significant competitors enter the Company’s markets nor does any existing competitor significantly increase its presence, anticipated cost savings from restructuring activities are realized as planned, continuing future restructuring activities are effectively executed, there are no material work stoppages in 2006 and the performance of third party service providers is in accordance with expectations in the upcoming year. Potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating these forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. The forward-looking statements included in this Annual Information Form are made only as of the date of this Annual Information Form and the Company does not undertake to publicly update these forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events contained in these forward-looking statements may or may not occur. The Company cannot assure that projected results or events will be achieved.

  • A Participative Approach to Developing a Social Accounting and Planning Tool For
    A Participative Approach to Developing a Social Accounting and Planning Tool for Cooperatives: The Consumer Co-operative Sustainability and Planning Scorecard1 André Leclerc, Leslie Brown, and Elizabeth Hicks with contributions from Monique Bourque, Roméo Cormier and Léo LeBlanc Introduction The Canadian retail grocery industry has been significantly transformed over recent decades. These changes have particularly impacted two aspects of the marketplace. First of all, companies owning grocery retail outlets are growing bigger, with much of the growth being the result of acquisitions and mergers rather than growth of existing firms. This has meant that smaller regional firms have been acquired, concentrating ownership and increasing the market share of the giant companies. For example, by 2002 three major food retailers – Loblaws, Sobeys and Metro – controlled 63 per cent of the Canadian market (Tutunjian 2002). Two of these firms, Sobeys and Loblaws, controlled 69 per cent of the Atlantic Canadian market. A second trend has involved expansion of the range of services offered, to include such items as: pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals 2 , banking services, clothing, gas, and so on. Further, other sectors, notably pharmacies and retail businesses such as Wal-Mart, provide groceries. According to the Retail Council of Canada (2003-2004), supermarkets are the most prominent example of such category incursion. Consumer tastes and concerns have evolved as well, to encompass concern for the health implications and quality of food, traceability of products, organics, and food labelling (Agriculture and Agri-food Canada 2005; Webb 2003). Complementing these concerns are others around the sustainability and environmental impacts of agricultural production and distribution practices (Agriculture and Agri-food Canada 2005).

  • Congratulate Loblaw
    July 22, 2015 Galen G. Weston President Loblaw Companies Limited 1 President’s Choice Circle Brampton, ON L6Y 5S5 Loblaw’s Promise to Eliminate Triclosan, Phthalates, and Microbeads from its Life Brand and President’s Choice Products by the end of 2018 Ottawa Riverkeeper would like to congratulate Loblaw Companies Limited on its recent announcement that it will eliminate triclosan, phthalates, and plastic microbeads from Life Brand and President’s Choice Products by the end of 2018. We are impressed and thankful to hear that Loblaws is taking further measures and has already begun to phase out products sold at your stores and that contain these ingredients that are toxic in the aquatic environment. You may be aware that Ottawa Riverkeeper was a signatory, along with more than 50 other public interest and not-for-profit groups from Canada and the United States, to a letter sent in late 2014, urging the Government of Canada to take urgent action to declare Triclosan to be toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) and to prohibit the use of Triclosan in consumer and institutional products. The Canadian government has stated that a risk management plan will be produced in the spring of 2015 yet we have heard nothing but silence. Almost 4 years ago experts assessed Triclosan and advised our federal government to add this chemical to the Toxics Substances List. Sadly, our government has ignored timelines and failed to act. We were also one of several environmental organizations that signed on to the request to the federal Minister of the Environment to prioritize the assessment of microbeads as “toxic” under CEPA.

  • Hypermarket Lessons for New Zealand a Report to the Commerce Commission of New Zealand
    Hypermarket lessons for New Zealand A report to the Commerce Commission of New Zealand September 2007 Coriolis Research Ltd. is a strategic market research firm founded in 1997 and based in Auckland, New Zealand. Coriolis primarily works with clients in the food and fast moving consumer goods supply chain, from primary producers to retailers. In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low-pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane. In market research it means understanding the big picture before you get into the details. PO BOX 10 202, Mt. Eden, Auckland 1030, New Zealand Tel: +64 9 623 1848; Fax: +64 9 353 1515; email: [email protected] www.coriolisresearch.com PROJECT BACKGROUND This project has the following background − In June of 2006, Coriolis research published a company newsletter (Chart Watch Q2 2006): − see http://www.coriolisresearch.com/newsletter/coriolis_chartwatch_2006Q2.html − This discussed the planned opening of the first The Warehouse Extra hypermarket in New Zealand; a follow up Part 2 was published following the opening of the store.
