Over the years, the commitment and collaboration of our teams have enabled us to secure a leading place in the Canadian food and pharmacy sectors. Today, METRO operates a network of over 950 food stores and nearly 650 pharmacies in three provinces. We owe our success to our colleagues who, each day, strive to achieve our objectives, offer the best customer experience and quality products at competitive prices in all our stores. Our employees are the driving force behind METRO, contributing daily to the company's growth and that of the communities in which we live and work.
We believe that the health and well-being of our colleagues is the key for us to truly embody our purpose and ensure our organizational effectiveness. That's why we have strong internal programs that enable us to strengthen our corporate culture through our teams.
