The Coopérative has become renowned in the field of natural product distribution, namely because it distributes more than one hundred natural and organic product lines throughout Quebec, but also because it acts as a partner that believes in Quebec businesses. Our selection criteria are strict: product quality, the origin of foods, and their impact, both locally and across Quebec. Our sales and merchandising team is devoted to the promotion of organic products and our average growth of 10% over the last 20 years clearly indicates that we will be present for many years to come. Coop Alentour is proud to have partnered from the very beginning with successful businesses such as Evive Smoothie (carbon-neutral company), Cuisine Angélique (organic, healthy eating business fulfilling a need), and Purpop, to name but a few. These businesses all aim to participate in healthy, natural eating and to positively impact the community. Beyond contributing to the success of Quebec businesses, the Coopérative created a sustainable development committee made up of employees who implement eco-friendly initiatives. For example, the organization now sorts all its waste and encourages composting. Bins are available throughout the Coopérative’s 3 divisions. What’s more, the company has committed to continuous improvement for its members by setting goals in terms of reducing residual material. To reach these goals, the company has retained the services of ADDERE, a consulting firm that supervises and guides its efforts. The Coopérative combats food waste through its partnership with Frigo Free, a food redistribution organization to which it gives unsold products. Finally, the Coopérative seeks to support its employees through the implementation of employee retention measures. These include work-family and work-study balance as well as a measure for employees who also play the role of caregivers.
