« Little streams make big rivers.”, is our motto ! Concerned about the health of our planet, we take small, simple actions on a daily basis to reduce our impact on the environment. At our level, we have chosen to adopt a more responsible behavior and thus reduce our ecological footprint.
Our commitments to sustainable development :
Reduce paper waste :
