Askew’s Uptown has already won several awards for its design and energy-efficiency, and now its pharmacy has been recognized for its eco-friendly operation.
The store is adding a Commitment to Care award for Green Leadership to its list of achievements. The awards honour innovative contributions to pharmacy practice.
Inside the pharmacy, recycling has become second nature.
“I encourage the re-use of pretty much all displays, shippers and promo material we receive, says Darlene Ogilvie, pharmacy manager. In addition the pharmacy’s supplier uses totes instead of cardboard to transport products, which minimizes waste.
