Making a True Difference

Making A True DifferenceTM

Tim Hortons is passionate about working with the communities we serve, the people within those communities, and - through our environmental work - the planet itself.

It's a passion that's fueled by a simple conviction: that we are not just a good corporate citizen, but an active participant and partner for positive change in the world.

The sustainability and responsibility framework outlined here includes commitments and goals that demonstrate our focus on making a true difference. This framework provides the basis for our sustainability and responsibility reporting in the future, including our first full report to be published in March 2011.
