RONA Encourages its Plant Suppliers to Reduce Their Use of Neonicotinoids
(firmenpresse) - BOUCHERVILLE, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 04/27/15 -- RONA Inc. (TSX: RON)(TSX: RON.PR.A) is announcing its commitment to reducing the use of neonicotinoids by encouraging its suppliers to reduce the use of these insecticides and by better informing its clients, namely via its Web site and through signs posted in its corporate stores.
This year, 70% of all plants sold in corporate RONA and Reno-Depot stores have been grown without any neonicotinoids. In 2016, all of the company''s plant suppliers will be required to clearly identify their products as containing or not containing neonicotinoids. Consumers will therefore be able to make an informed decision when purchasing plants at RONA or Reno-Depot stores.
Neonicotinoids are insecticides believed to have adverse effects on bee populations. As a result, RONA and Reno-Depot suppliers are strengthening efforts to reduce their use by implementing alternative methods.
