Over the past few years, it has been only natural for Rachelle Béry to partner with BIXI, a company that shares our values of sustainable development and respect for the environment.

A number of initiatives clearly illustrate our desire to promote environmentally-friendly practices, such as offering bulk soaps, which reduce plastic consumption by encouraging the reuse of containers, and the use of an innovative misting system, which reduces the use of plastic packaging and extends the shelf life of fresh produce.

Another outstanding example is the "Food hero" project, which strives to reduce food waste by giving a second life to products that would otherwise be thrown away. In addition, we give preference to local organic farms, establishing short circuits between producers and stores. This reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting goods, supports the local economy and guarantees fresh, high-quality produce for our customers.

We also demonstrate our commitment to supporting and growing local businesses engaged in sustainable practices by actively encouraging companies working in the circular economy, such as Malté, which participates in IGA's local business accelerator program.

Our partnership with BIXI is another step towards a greener future. By encouraging bike sharing as a means of getting around the city, we're helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support active, sustainable mobility. Thanks to this partnership, BIXI members also benefit from 10% off their baskets of over $40 before tax with us, encouraging more environmentally-friendly shopping habits.

A successful partnership is based on shared values. Our joint initiatives with BIXI, aimed at reducing environmental impact while encouraging a more eco-friendly lifestyle, can only strengthen hope for a greener, more sustainable future for all.
