Reduction of single-use plastics

At Caisse Desjardins de Lévis, our employees and members use reusable glasses or mugs when on the premises.

Beekeeping to increase honey production and pollination

The caisse manages a few urban beehives in partnership with urban beekeeping organization Alvéole - External link.. Located at the Maison de la Famille Rive-Sud, the hives help ensure the survival of bees, produce local honey, increase pollination and make our community greener.

Annual recycling drop-off: Old computer equipment and confidential documents

Every year, the caisse holds a recycling day where you can dispose of old computer equipment and confidential documents securely and responsibly. Look out for the next recycling day on our Facebook page (in French only) - External link..

Incentives for alternative transport

We offer a cash incentive to employees who bike, walk or take public transit to work. We also have underground parking spaces reserved for employees who carpool to work.

Carbon offsetting

Every year, Caisse Desjardins de Lévis offsets the greenhouse gas emissions generated by the travel of its employees, directors and members through the Carbone Scol'ERE project, a fun educational program that raises awareness about greenhouse gases and climate change.

In 2023, we were able to offset 200 tonnes of CO2. This means that about 200 kids ages 9 to 12 and their families will participate in the program and commit to adopting new, eco-friendly habits.
