A number of initiatives have been put in place by the company to, among other things, vitalize the local economy, minimize waste and be attractive to employees. Here are just a few examples:

South-facing cottages to benefit from passive heating;
Use of environmentally friendly household products made in Quebec: laundry soap, all-purpose cleaner, dish soap, scouring cream, 3-in-1 body soap that eliminates single-use soap bars;
Installation of a charging station for electric cars in 2024;
Presence of three bins in cottages: garbage/recycling/compost;
Promotions outside peak periods to extend the tourist season, avoid overtourism and encourage longer stays (slow tourism);
Participation in the cohort led by Addere and financed by the Écoleader Fund, which enabled the company to achieve a professional-level carbon footprint by 2022.
