SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Reducing our
footprint
We are committed to reaching our goal of zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2040. To achieve this, we are working to decarbonize our buildings and truck fleet as well as collaborating with our partners on energy transition issues.
How we take action
We are rethinking how we do business in order to reduce the environmental impact of our operations.

Decarbonize our vehicle fleet
Fighting climate change is a major challenge that all of us must address. That’s why we have adopted the ambitious goal of reaching zero GHG emissions for our vehicles and buildings by 2040.
Our decarbonization efforts are already apparent on the road with the commissioning of our very first electric vehicles.
3 million bottles incorporated into other materials
Recycling glass is an ecological way to increase its value. For example, we have incorporated powder made from recycled glass in more than 100 projects, including floors, furniture and mulch.

A social
impact project
The deposit system is modernizing
Involved with and contributing to this major social project for Quebec, we’re partnering with the Quebec Beverage Container Recycling Association (QBCRA) to put in place an effective, easy-to-use deposit system.
Eco-responsible events
We collaborate with the organizers of events we sponsor to put in place eco-responsible initiatives, such as switching to reusable glasses at SAQ Bistros. By working with Quebec-based firm Cupko, our bistros have avoided using 400,000 single-use glasses a year.

Sustainable buildings
When it comes to our buildings’ environmental performance, we aim for excellence by implementing the best eco-responsible practices in building design, construction, operation and management.
Protected by reused cardboard
We now use cardboard cartons from around the globe to cushion the bottles in parcels we deliver to you. How? By transforming the cartons with a fiberboard quilting machine.
