100% of SAQ Bistro sales are donated directly to the festivals
Did you know that ordering a glass at an SAQ Bistro is a way to support the event? We provide the products free of charge. The organizers then sell them at SAQ Bistros to festival-goers. All the proceeds from the sale of these products go directly to the event.

Food assistance is our corporate cause because drinking well only comes after getting enough to eat.
Over the years, we have developed a solid relationship with Food Banks of Quebec and its Moisson affiliates as well as with La Tablée des Chefs and supported them in their mission to help feed Quebecers in need.
A vegetable garden for the neighbourhood
Our head office is located in the Mercier Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighbourhood, considered a food desert with limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Since 2022, our campus has hosted a greenhouse that’s in use 10 months of the year and a 2,760 m2 vegetable garden that helps feel local residents.

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.
