What does sustainable development mean to MaltBroue?

No one can boast of being perfect as for sustainable development. However, it is a firm commitment at MaltBroue to consider the three spheres of sustainable development in its decisions: economic, social and environmental.

If a step backwards is taken, it is always with the goal of making two steps forward, and for a long time afterwards.

Here are our commitments and actions:

Reducing transport

• Using our grains, grown according to responsible agriculture, or those of farmers in the Lower St. Lawrence.
• Compensating for the “pick-up” emissions, by using an electric car for most trips.
• We are the only producer of caramel malt within a 2,000 km range, which avoids making the malt travel over a long distance such as when it’s imported from the United States or Europe.
• The Scol’ERE Carbon Scholarship—Owners personally compensate for their CO2 emissions when travelling by air. Mainly to attend the annual Craft Malt Conference in United States.

Consumption and energy

• Clean Energy Heating with wood pellets and electricity is preferred.
• Project: installation of a silo to get our pellets in bulk and thus reduce our consumption of Megabags.
• Reusing Megabags when possible.
• Introducing new procedures to reduce paper consumption. A challenge for our accounting department, but the motivation to change habits is there!

Implication and communication:

• Participation in our town’s “Témis en bière” event. Profits are donated to the high school broomball team.
• Working to inform beer and other drink lovers that they can choose products made from local ingredients. This choice has a direct impact on the local economy and environment.
• Contributing to the development of the microbrewery sector, which brings together all the players in the industry (farmers, maltsters, hop and yeast producers, brewers) in order to work together to offer more and more local ingredients for microbreweries in Quebec.
