How it Works
Spirit of Sustainability (SoS) is the LCBO’s enterprise-wide social impact platform designed to create a more sustainable future for Ontario by supporting the province’s social and environmental needs. It’s our bold commitment to drive meaningful change in our communities, be the industry leader in sustainable practices and take better care of our planet – all for the good of Ontario.
This is an opportunity for brands and products to be featured within our campaigns in support of key LCBO SoS initiatives.
Though there is no additional cost for Trade Partners to participate in this program, we require details of the Good Work you are doing and ask that it is shared with us via the Excel Application Form, in the SOS tab. Please include this information along with your promotional application submissions before each deadline.
