KINGSEY
FALLS, QC, Nov. 24, 2023 /CNW/ - Cascades Inc.
(TSX: CAS), a leader in the recovery and manufacturing of
eco-friendly packaging and hygiene products, is proud to add four
honours to its list of accolades. In addition to being named one of
Canada's Top 100 Employers by
The Globe and Mail for the 4th year in a row, the
Company was awarded the Prix Prospère Employeur Innovant from
the Conseil du patronat du Québec and the Prix Engagement
communautaire during the 14th Envirolys gala presented
by the Conseil des entreprises en technologies environnementales du
Québec (CETEQ), and was also recognized for the 13th
consecutive year as the most responsible brand according to
Quebecers, as measured by the 2023 Baromètre de la consommation
responsable.
"We're proud and humbled to receive these honours, which
recognize our continuous efforts to improve our social and
environmental footprint. These acknowledgements reinforce our
commitment and motivate us to go even further in our efforts to
support our customers and the communities in which we operate,"
stated Mario Plourde, President and
CEO. "Cascades is a sustainable company today because its founders,
notably Bernard Lemaire who, sadly,
passed away recently, instilled these principles from day one,
leaving us with a rich heritage committed to deep values of
respect," he adds.
Mediacorp Canada's Top 100 Employers in Canada are chosen on the basis of a comparison
with employers in similar industries and regions, and of similar
sizes, across eight key areas relating to work conditions and
environment. Cascades stands out in particular for its work
environment (flexible hours, services available in the workplace),
training and skills development programs, and community involvement
initiatives.
The Prix Prospère Employeur Innovant, awarded by the Conseil du
patronat du Québec, celebrates Cascades' culture and inspiring
human resources management practices. In particular, the jury was
impressed by the new flexible and innovative benefits program that
was launched at the beginning of the year.
Cascades was awarded the Prix Engagement communautaire by the
Conseil des entreprises en technologies environnementales du Québec
(CETEQ) for its employees' involvement in numerous organizations
and its commitment to environmental awareness and
education.
Lastly, the Baromètre de la consommation responsable is a study
published annually by the Observatoire de la consommation
responsable (OCR), a research unit at the Université du Québec à
Montréal's School of Management Sciences. The study presents major
consumption trends while describing purchasing motivators and
barriers. When it comes to responsible brands, Cascades is the name
most raised by consumers—and this has been the case since consumers
were first surveyed on the matter 13 years ago.
Founded in 1964, Cascades offers sustainable, innovative and
value-added packaging, hygiene and recovery solutions. The Company
employs 10,000 talents across a network close to 75 facilities in
North America. Driven by its
participative management, half a century of experience in
recycling, and continuous research and development efforts,
Cascades continues to provide innovative products that customers
have come to rely on, while contributing to the well-being of
people, communities and the entire planet. Cascades' shares trade
on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CAS.
