ECO-FRIENDLY AUDIT
The question is no longer if you should adopt a sustainable approach, but when.
And to get started on the right foot, there’s nothing better than a complete assessment of the environmental footprint of your current packaging. That’s exactly what our team of experts at CARTIER offers you — and it's completely free.
Our climatic engagement:
FRANK AND REALISTIC
Become aware of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
and incorporate them into our procedures, to help us achieve them.
Include our environmental and social values
in the organization’s guiding values.
Raise employee awareness of climate impact and the company’s environmental approach,
explain the results and objectives of carbon neutral certification and encourage employees to follow this approach.
Implement processes to monitor GHG emissions
on an annual basis.
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
in the short, medium and long term in absolute terms (kg CO2-eq per year) or in relative terms (kg CO2-eq per dollar or kg CO2-eq per unit sold).
Subscribe to the principle of continuous improvement,
which should include GHG reduction actions and projects.
Consider climate impact (CO2-eq) as well as environmental or social impact
(such as sources of soil-water-air pollution, human impacts, etc.) when selling or purchasing goods and services from other organizations and throughout the supply chain.
Move towards carbon neutrality
without long-term compensation.
Our concrete OBJECTIVES
Towards carbon neutrality
Since January 15th, 2021, the company is officially carbon neutral! Based on our emissions balance sheet, the Planetair organization allows us to compensate intelligently by investing in three carbon offset portfolios. It’s not perfect yet, so we’re continuing to work hard not only to offset, but to reduce our emissions at source!
Renewable energy; profitable human investment
Since 2023, 50% of our total natural gas supply has come from renewable natural gas (RNG), derived from 100% renewable sources. It replaces fossil fuels and avoids the methane emissions associated with landfilling waste.
Eco-friendly packaging, here and now!
In 2021, our partnership with Éco Entreprises Québec enabled us to identify 15 eco-responsibility criteria for classifying our products.
More than 50% of our online products meet at least one of these criteria! This approach enables our customers to make informed choices and makes them aware of the widespread misinformation out there. We intend to maintain this threshold and of course increase it over the years.
Our Laboratory: proof of evolution and expression of talent
Our Laboratory’s mission? Correct situations of under-packaging and over-packaging to guarantee parcel protection and reduce waste, offer solutions adapted to our customers’ needs and constraints, and thus reduce their environmental footprint. As of this year, we have been able to provide our customers with a carbon footprint report, so that they can actually see the reduction in GHG emissions.
In fact, we are now one of the eco-design experts of the Ecoleader Fund’s! Good news for our customers, who may be eligible for subsidies for their projects, under certain conditions!
Rethinking the human role through volunteering and social engagement
Permitting our employees to lend a hand at engaged organizations that generate value for society and have true positive impact on our environment – it’s a no-brainer!
Everyone at CARTIER is encouraged to volunteer at an organization of their choice one day per year with full pay. More than 600 hours can potentially be put toward cleaning up shorelines, planting trees, protecting natural habitats and more. It’s crazy how much we can do as a team in a single day, isn’t it?
