Reduction in paper usage

Objective “Zero Paper”: With the addition of screens and scanners, we are reducing our daily paper usage. This initiative helps decrease our ecological footprint and streamline our administrative processes.

Local purchasing

Encouraging the purchase of products and services made in Quebec: Our choice of suppliers is crucial. We prioritize local purchasing from companies known for their quality and environmental commitment.

National greening program

Offsetting GHG emissions through tree planting: To compensate for greenhouse gas emissions, we are establishing a tree planting program on behalf of Alta Voyages and our clients, in collaboration with specialized partners.

CSR policy

Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSR): We have implemented a CSR policy to reduce our ecological impact and promote sustainable practices in all our activities.
