Hudson's Bay Company (Hbc) has entered into a three year partnership with Canadian companies The Global Group and Harkel Office Furniture to furnish its newly redesigned head office in Brampton, Ontario, with eco-friendly products.
Hbc and The Global Group are Canada's largest companies in their respective fields. Harkel Office Furniture has a 28 year history of providing superior service in this country. This partnership is one of the largest of its kind in the Canadian market place. This announcement helps mark Hbc's 338th anniversary.
Through this partnership, The Global Group will manufacture eco-friendly furnishing for approximately 1200 new work units in Hbc's Brampton office. Harkel Office Furniture will distribute and service the office furnishings. Harkel is expected to have all the furnishings installed at the Brampton office by the Winter 2009. The newly designed office will house Hbc's buyers and retail operations personnel.
The primary products to be provided are manufactured out of recycled aluminum. These products will not get dumped in the landfill at the end of their lifespan. They are designed to be easily recycled to create new aluminum products.
The partnership signifies Hbc's ongoing commitment to social responsibility embodied in its Global Mind brand, which promotes social and environmental sustainability in its policies, processes and products.
