Tims China, the exclusive operator of Tim Hortons coffee shops in China, made a significant presence at the Fourth ESG Global Leaders Summit in Shanghai this week. As the coffee sponsor of the event, Tims China seized the opportunity to showcase its commitment to sustainable development and its innovative practices within the Chinese consumer market.
Yongchen Lu, CEO of Tims China, actively participated in a panel discussion titled “Consensus on New Green Consumption Concepts.” During the discussion, Lu emphasized Tims China’s dedication to sustainability, stating, “Tims China is consistently and keenly focused on sustainable development. From recyclable coffee cups and packaging materials to the use of coffee grounds and pre-used decorating materials in our stores, Tims China is at the forefront of rethinking retail. The health and wellbeing of our guests, employees, and the broader public is central to our operations every day.”

The primary materials used in the store include eco-friendly panels made from a mix of straw and coffee grounds, and much of the furniture has been constructed with sustainable materials made of coffee grounds. Explorations like our green store in Shenzhen underpin our conviction that we, as aspiring ESG leaders, should set a high bar for sustainable development.”
