Our Commitment
Committed to the environment and the community
Papillons Infrastructure Nature has its roots in the community. As the operator of the RechargÉco network, our organization was committed to expanding its impact beyond environmental considerations by making a meaningful contribution to the communities that host us.
That is why, on the 22nd of every month, all revenue generated by the charging stations is donated to a local charity, selected in partnership with the host IGA store.
The organizations we support work in a variety of fields: health, food assistance, poverty alleviation, community development, and education.

Why
the 22?
April 22 marks the celebration of Earth Day, a global event dedicated to preserving our planet. RechargÉco was born within the organization Earth Day Canada, and we wanted to honor that spirit by celebrating this symbolic day every month. This is our way of staying connected to our roots and contributing, one gesture at a time, to a more sustainable future.
