EVERY SECOND, THE EQUIVALENT OF A TRUCKLOAD OF CLOTHES IS INCINERATED OR LANDFILLED WORLDWIDE.
The textile sector is responsible for over 10% of global carbon emissions, according to the FAO. In addition to the manufacture of garments, their decoration often requires the use of inks and solvents containing chemicals that are harmful to health and the environment. In addition to ecologically optimizing our practices, as mentioned in the "Made in Montreal" article (available soon), we are proud to say that all our operations are carbon neutral: every year we offset as much greenhouse gas as we produce.
LCL Environnement, an environmental solutions consulting firm, is supporting us in this carbon neutral approach. Their expertise in emissions assessment guides us towards opportunities for improvement and effective strategies for reducing our emissions at source. In conjunction with Carbone Boréal, a greenhouse gas offset program and a UQAC research chair, we offset our residual emissions by financing local reforestation projects. Their rigorous approach guarantees a real positive environmental and community impact. Every tree planted in our offset initiatives makes a concrete contribution to carbon sequestration in Canada.
SANTÉ!
