Responsible actions

Sustainable development

Building on concrete and sustainable values is one of our team’s largest concerns. From growing to packaging, to the transportation and commercialization, we aim to measure the consequences of our decisions and reduce the impact in terms of our environmental footprint for every action we take.

Energy

Since 2011, we’ve used forest biomass for heating several of our production sites in Quebec. This consists of a firm contractual commitment with the Government of Québec to reduce tens of thousands of tons of GHG every year.

Water

New technologies in tributary recirculation that we use for our crops today, allows us to reuse 100% of the water and optimize this resource to the maximum while reducing our consumption.

Packaging

We share your concerns to keep packaging to a minimum and reduce waste. Beyond the obvious environmental considerations, the economic advantage is also a beneficial impact. We’re also aware that best packaging is obviously no packaging at all.

Some of our products are offered without packing in several grocers, including the Cerizo Bio, the Beefsteak tomatoes and the Grappe vine tomatoes.
The majority of our organic products are transported in a 100% compostable pulp based tray and manufactured in Canada. In regards to plastic wrap, it’s also 100% recyclable and made in Canada, just like our shipping containers.
The majority of the large distributors we work with require packaged products. Did you know that packaging lengthens the product’s lifespan by at least 10 days? An important aspect for both the environment and the economy.

Producing fruit and then throwing it out is certainly not a sustainable solution.

Just like you, we are looking for solutions that are both effective and beneficial for the environment. We collaborate in our own way for beneficial change.

Growing diversity

Social and professional inclusion is at the heart of our values. We believe that diversity is a strength—it fuels our innovation, strengthens our teamwork, and drives us forward. In an ever-evolving workforce landscape, it is essential to recognize and value all talents. Embracing inclusion means cultivating a respectful and collaborative environment where every individual has the opportunity to contribute to our collective success.

Community involvement

Community development is key for SAVOURA. We are proud to be involved in organizations and associations, through sponsorships, donations and local and regional initiatives, to encourage people in the success and promotion of their projects.
