SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Offering responsible choices
While it’s often forgotten, we sell agricultural products and some of them travel great distances to arrive at your table. That’s why we make a point of offering you a varied selection of eco-responsible local wines and spirits.

What we are putting in place
Think outside the bottle
There are packaging options that have a lower carbon footprint than the traditional glass bottle and that are recyclable in Quebec. Discover them here.

eco-responsible containers
90%
in lightweight glass
90% of wines priced at $25 or less are made from lightweight glass
That corresponds to 40% of the bottles sold at the SAQ. We are currently looking at expanding this best practice to spirits and sparkling wine bottles.
In fiscal 2022-2023, using lightweight glass eliminated more than 6,000 metric tons of GHG, the equivalent of 6,000 return car trips between Montreal and Vancouver.
Even red wine can be “green”
Whatever the grape variety or type of product, look for a few simple criteria to make choices that are aligned with your values and to minimize the environmental footprint of your purchase.

overpackaging
Reduce packaging for a healthier planet
Even though the contents matter more than the container, make a smart choice so that, after the wine or spirt has been enjoyed, the bottle can be recycled.
What is fair-trade?
Buying a fair-trade wine or spirits helps ensure better living conditions for the people who grow and transform grapes, sugarcane and other crops.

Our priorities
Offering responsible choices
It’s true we like to help you discover, taste and share. But beyond that, we’re even keener to do it with local and responsible products.
Reducing our footprint
We aim to be an agent of change in energy transition with solutions to minimize the GHG emissions of our operations and our industry.
Supporting our community
Strong communities are built from the inside out. With the help our employees, we’re working to have a positive impact on communities.
Doing things better
We don’t sell ordinary products, and our commitment to contributing to the collective good drives us to make informed, sustainable and responsible decisions.
