MEC Internship

Established in 1971, Mountain Equipment Company (MEC) is Canada's go-to place for outdoor gear, know-how and inspiration.

As Sustainability Intern (May 2022-Present), I was a part of a passionate and innovative team working to improve MEC's environmental and social impact portfolios. 

It's no secret the retail industry is faced with many sustainability challenges, mainly due to competing stakeholder interests and a tricky supply chain. However, MEC has been at the forefront of several sustainability achievements, including manufacturing transparency, ethical material sourcing, waste reduction and fair labour practices.
