The Fonds Éco IGA was founded in 2008 by Quebec’s IGA grocers, who donate $1 million to it annually. It is managed by Jour de la Terre, an organization that helps people and organizations reduce their impact on the environment. The Fonds Éco IGA finances concrete projects focused, among others, but not exclusively, on waste management, food waste and sustainable mobility. Since its inception, it has helped fund multiple sustainable projects responding to the realities of the communities in all regions of Quebec and New Brunswick.
