SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

​Doing things
better

​We strive to have the highest management and governance standards in order to give the maximum back to Quebecers and create value for society.

​How we take action

​The SAQ was created more than a century ago for a reason: to sell beverage alcohol responsibly.
Over the decades, our ways of doing business have evolved but our DNA has remained the same.

Sell beverage alcohol responsibly

​Incorporate sustainability principles into our business decisions

Promote responsible purchasing
of goods and services

What we are putting in place

90.9%

success rate

​90.9% of underage mystery customers were prevented from buying or tasting beverage alcohol in SAQ stores in fiscal 2022-2023

​Because alcoholic beverages are products unlike any other, beverage alcohol sales are governed by laws and regulations that we comply with and ensure others do too. 18 years and over, by law.

​Because moderation is always in good taste

​We’ve contributed to Éduc’alcool since its creation in 1989. This organization develops and runs prevention, education and information programs to help young people and adults make informed and responsible decisions around alcohol use.
