SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
At the Fjord Distillery, forest and family are at the heart of our business. That's why we make it our duty to improve year after year in terms of sustainable development, to leave a positive impact on our customers and our environment.

Building constructed to high energy standards

We followed high energy standards for the construction of the new distillery.

Responsible sourcing

Our spirits are inspired by the plants of the boreal forest. We responsibly harvest our aromatics from public forests surrounding the distillery. Our spices are carefully selected to ensure plant regeneration after our pickers have passed through.

Enhancement of Toundra Greenhouse cucumbers

The cucumber in our Km12 gin comes from Serres Toundra in St-Félicien, where quality and sustainable development go hand in hand. These cucumbers are upcycled in our production, as part of a strategy to reduce waste and enhance local resources.

Electrical Production Equipment

All the distillery's production and maintenance equipment was chosen to operate electrically and use a sustainable Quebec resource.

Elimination of single-use plastics

Distillerie du Fjord, being increasingly asked to participate in festivals throughout Quebec, stopped using single-use plastic cups and has been using reusable cups (ecocups) or compostable cups since June 2019.

Second life for lemon peels

At the distillery, nothing goes to waste. The lemons pressed for the juice in our ready-to-serve cocktails have their peels carefully recovered and repurposed in the making of our Limoncello. A tangible way to reduce waste while fully revealing the natural aroma of lemon.

Donation to the drug addiction treatment center

Since the company's inception, Distillerie du Fjord has made an annual donation to the Jonquière Drug Addiction Treatment Center. Although we operate in the alcoholic beverage industry, we felt it was important to also get involved in the treatment of people with addiction problems.

Creation of 5 jobs in St-David-de-Falardeau

Our distillery, located at the foot of the Monts-Valin, has helped create 5 jobs in the municipality since its opening in 2016. In addition, it is estimated that plant harvesting creates approximately 6 jobs per year.

Support local businesses

As the distillery attracts many tourists, we have added several local products for sale in our shop. Furthermore, plant harvesting is carried out by local companies, the shop's furniture is made in Anse-St-Jean, the bottling line was developed by a manufacturer from Lévis, and the promotional items and cocktail syrups come from local businesses.
