Sustainability Policy -2024

Le Relais des Pins is committed to a sustainability policy by implementing various short- and long-term actions aligned with its community and environmental values.

In the current context, the company believes it is essential to take decisive and swift action on certain issues. Le Relais des Pins will henceforth position itself as a reference in eco-responsible culinary tourism. The company also ensures partnerships with suppliers who share similar values.

In the restaurant sector, concrete actions are being implemented, such as limiting water consumption, managing energy usage, reducing and managing waste, including recycling all materials and eventually implementing composting.

At the building level, the use of environmentally friendly (ecological and sustainable) materials is currently being analyzed for the renovation of all our terraces. This work is planned for fall 2025. For this project, we will collaborate with subcontractors from Île d’Orléans (carpentry, excavation, plumbing, electricity, etc.). Additionally, we upgraded our heating and cooling system this summer to prioritize renewable energy (electricity instead of propane).

Furthermore, a community outreach initiative is already in operation and will continue to grow in the coming years. We maintain a partnership with the Île d’Orléans Volunteer Association to redistribute meals and processed products. We also participate in food processing days to prevent waste and ensure that members of our community in need have access to food assistance.

The policy will be reviewed and updated annually by our committee. Additionally, any employee interested in volunteering is welcome to participate. Together, we are all committed to this new direction.
