Our commitments
Circularity of cardboard and packaging materials:
Every year, we receive hundreds of cardboard boxes from our suppliers. Instead of throwing them away or buying new ones with our logo on them, we reuse them for our online orders. We do the same with bubble wrap, cardboard used to secure products, and kraft paper.
Thanks to this circular approach, we’re able to reuse around 1,500 pounds of cardboard and plastic each year.
Low-carbon delivery:
All our deliveries in Montreal and the surrounding area are made either by bike or electric vehicle. We partner with companies that offer these low-emission delivery solutions.
That’s about 3,000 kilometers of deliveries per year done without carbon emissions!
Ompact of our circular approach to cardboard and packaging materials:
300 kg of repurposed material (660 pounds)
300 kg of materials reused (660 pounds)
3,000 km of carbon-free deliveries per year
We choose our suppliers based on their environmental awareness
Gabrielle Paris uses Oeko-Tex certified fabrics, meaning they are certified to be free of substances harmful to the planet and the human body.
Our supplier of rattan lighting from Indonesia donates 20% of its profits to social and environmental initiatives.
Rose in April uses Oeko-Tex fabrics only.
We participate in a tree-planting program with our tape supplier (Noissue - FSC® Certified). Over 45,000 trees planted!
Mili Mila has its scarves made with entirely recycled material.
When you place an order on our site, you help protect the planet (Shopify Planet program).
We are proud participants in a program that funds businesses dedicated to planetary protection. In partnership with Shopify, the Canadian company that powers our website, every order you place helps finance companies that clean our oceans, safeguard our land, or capture harmful atmospheric carbon. We are global citizens, and through this program, we are also active protectors of our Planet. For every purchase, a portion of your order's total is sent to one of these vital environmental initiatives.
Learn more about this program in the explanatory video below (in English only).
Here's what this global program has achieved:
Removed 48,466 tonnes of carbon emissions.
Coeur d'Artichaut allocates a portion of all online orders to participate in this program.
Every order you place helps bring to life actions that protect the environment.
Our Community Initiatives
Protecting the Amazon
In January 2020, Coeur d'Artichaut was one of the sponsors of an event at the Rialto Theatre featuring Sofia Nolin, Ariane Moffat, Salomé Leclerc, La Force, Patrick Watson, Erika Angel, Arthur H, and many others. The goal of this concert was to raise funds to protect over 4,500 hectares of the Amazon rainforest. To learn more: Junglekeepers
YMCA Montreal
On October 18, 2022, the YMCA's major gala, "The Peace Medals," was held. This event honors citizens and companies who contribute to building more cohesive and harmonious communities.
Coeur d'Artichaut donated several items for auction at this gala to raise funds for financing the YMCA's social initiatives.
Aiding Ukraine
When the war in Ukraine broke out, we asked ourselves how we could act at our level to help the Ukrainian populations taking refuge in Poland. We usually import merchandise from Europe, but this time, we activated our partners to do the opposite: send 400 kg of clothing, comforters for children, and diapers.
The transport was 100% financed by Coeur d'Artichaut.
