I feel that they are socially, environmentally taking a lot of initiatives for society. Tim Horton’s is the largest successful coffee chain in Canada and it is great to know how it has established a great relationship with its customers for quite a long time. Tim Horton’s has literally managed to become a pioneer of this trade. It is not that Tim Horton’s is a business for profits only but they have been successfully doing the charity and philanthropic work in Canadian society. Hence, people have started to have faith in their aims and consequently participate voluntarily in large. Whenever they come with such type of activity which is beneficial for unprivileged common people. Tim Horton’s Charity Initiatives bring almost everyone in society together.
