Partnership with BGC Canada.
Best Buy Canada has been a proud supporter of the BGC Canada (formerly Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada) since 2001. We’ve donated more than $3 million in scholarships, and our stores partner with Boys and Girls Clubs across the country to find ways to give back.
We are also proud to help fund BGC Canada’s Anti-Racism Initiative Microgrants (AIM), which aim to support youth-led, anti-racism initiatives from Club members across Canada.

Teen Tech Centres.
In 2021, Best Buy Canada launched its first Teen Tech Centre – a free, safe, and creative place to do hands-on learning with professional level tech.
Participating teens learn new skills, stay on track with school, and nurture positive peer relationships – which could help open doors for a future career.
A culture of giving back.
Our employee-supported program, Blue Gives Back, encourages Best Buy employees to volunteer in the communities where we live and work, as well as matches employee’s monetary donations. We believe change starts with us, so we’re dedicated to contributing to a culture of giving and volunteering.
Building a stronger, more inclusive and diverse tech industry
At Best Buy, we want to help underrepresented tech entrepreneurs achieve their goals. That's why we've launched our Mentorship & Accelerator Program to connect underrepresented innovators with the tools to help grow their business.
Our commitment to the environment.
We’re committed to being an environmentally responsible organization. We’ve employed multiple green programs across our stores and offices with a focus on sustainability through emission and waste reduction. These programs are led by our dedicated Green Team, a cross-functional council that guides our environmentally-friendly initiatives.
