Sustainable Development
Our facility is LEED certified.
Our facility is located in a high-performance, sustainable building. We are committed to excelling in key areas of human health and the environment.
Yourbarfactory obtained this certification for the construction of its new building in 2018 during the setup of its new plant in Châteauguay. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in the use of eco-friendly materials in the construction of our premises. We use low-emission volatile organic compound (VOC) materials, helping to minimize our environmental impact.
To reduce energy consumption, all our offices are equipped with LED lights, known for their low energy consumption and low emissions. Additionally, Yourbarfactory heats and cools the entire facility with the help of a heat recovery system from manufacturing equipment, which allows us to reduce over 800 tons of greenhouse gases annually, compared to a similar building without this technology.
Our office desks are created with wood from our own garden trees.
Our facility is fully committed to a sustainable development approach, integrating environmentally friendly practices at every stage of our production. One concrete action illustrating this commitment is the responsible use of natural resources available on our site.
The tables in our open spaces are made from trees from our own garden. These trees, carefully selected and replanted after each use, embody our desire to limit our ecological footprint while providing a harmonious and eco-responsible work environment for our employees.
The entire facility is heated and air-conditioned using radiant flooring.
The entire building is equipped with radiant flooring, ensuring an optimal temperature throughout the year. This energy-efficient system significantly reduces our energy consumption while ensuring the comfort of our employees, contributing to a sustainable and responsible work environment.
Furthermore, our company has established a B-Corp committee to coordinate actions aimed at improving our environmental practices. This committee works to reduce our ecological impact by adopting eco-responsible actions, both in our manufacturing units and in our common living spaces, in order to promote a sustainable environment.
An eco-responsible facility thanks to heat recycling.
Yourbarfactory heats and cools the entire facility thanks to heat recycling system that captures the heat emitted by manufacturing equipment, reducing over 800 tons of greenhouse gases annually, compared to a similar building without this technology.
