Sociale mission

We foster management in harmony with humanity. In tangible terms, this mission results in a series of measures including the automatic investment of 5% of the company’s profits into supporting community development initiatives.

The beneficiaries of this commitment are many. Here are just a few examples:

• Honduras, where we donated a play structure (for children 5 to 12 years old) in cooperation with the Quebec City Rotary Club.
• Aquarium de Québec, to which we made a special contribution through the Société des parcs de sciences naturelles du Québec.
• Opération Enfant-Soleil, which assists sick children, and to which we are donors.
• Saint-Nom-de-Jésus school, where we took part in a “school yard extreme makeover” project organized by the Journal de Montréal.
• La Casa San Rafael, in Guatemala, which assists unwed mothers and where we donated a children’s play structure.
• Le Centre culturel L’Anglicane, in Lévis, to which we gave a donation to help the children of low-income families participate in shows.
• La maison L’Escargot du Centre-Jeunesse de la Montérégie, which helps abandoned children, to which we donated recreational products.
• Centraide (United Way), which collects funds to redistribute to community organizations that help the most underprivileged, for which we organize a fundraising campaign within our own company every year.
• Children’s Wish foundation, to which we make a donation every year.
• Jewish General Hospital, which can count on an annual donation from us during its “Weekend to End Cancer.”
• Le Grenier food bank, which we support annually with a substantial donation.

Environmental Mission

All our products are developed based on an approach that is strictly focused on respect for the environment. Eco-design, recycling, energy saving and pollution reduction are part and parcel of our processes.

In the company, this commitment translates very tangible into the:

• Use of recycled materials;
• Use of solvent-free paints;
• Recovery of recyclable materials stemming from our activities;
• Incorporation of manufacturing processes with low environmental impact;
• Selection of tools, machinery and vehicles based on energy savings;
• Use of recycled or environmentally friendly papers for printing our internal and external documents.

Beyond our walls, our environmental commitment has taken the form of a campaign to raise public awareness about respecting public places. This program, which we have called Planet Jambette, is our contribution to the advancement of values related to sustainable development.

Economic Mission

In addition to managing our company on solid financial footings, we wanted to share our profits.

This profit sharing materializes as follows:

This choice clearly reveals the values that drive us. We think that the normal thing for a company making a profit to do is redistribute a portion of it.
