Did you know that, according to a study by Les Produits du Québec, imported products emit on average 34% more GHGs than associated local products? The shorter distance of transportation of the finished product (average difference of 7,111 km) and the low carbon intensity of electricity in Canada explain most of this difference.
Therefore Société Laurentide is taklng part in the Je déPENSE local -Le Black Friday québécois event, to encourage the use by consumers of local businesses, while they will be doing something for the environment at the same time!
The certification marks of Produits du Québec are there to guide consumers in their choices.
