2025 IN REVIEW
We are proud to have contributed $800,000 last year to five Canadian environmental conservation organizations, complemented by $200,000 in early 2026, for a total commitment of $1 million. We supported their efforts to protect our environment and make a meaningful impact through their projects. Learn more about their mission and the initiatives we’ve contributed to.

AT OUR
HEAD OFFICE
AT OUR HEAD OFFICE
We’ve implemented enhanced management practices for waste generated by our employees and in our cafeteria.
WASTE AUDITS
WASTE AUDITS
A waste audit helps analyse the waste produced by an organization to identify areas for improvement. In 2023, we began conducting annual audits at our head office and distribution centre. These assessments allowed us to optimize sorting stations, clarify signage, and provide mandatory training on waste sorting. Thanks to these measures, the proper sorting rate in our offices and lunchroom increased from 35% to 83% in one year.
COMPOSTING
COMPOSTING
Thanks to improved sorting, we now compost employees’ organic waste. In 2022, La Vie en Rose installed a composting machine at the head office to process cafeteria food scraps and compostable materials from the offices. Contaminant-free sorting, especially avoiding plastics, is essential to producing high-quality compost, which is then given to the Cuisine Collective Hochelaga-Maisonneuve for use in its community food gardens.
