La Sultana Savonnerie’s commitment to sustainable development
Sustainability has been at the heart of La Sultana since the creation of our company. We have chosen to participate actively and sustainably in global efforts for a more sustainable future. This is why we subscribe to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations.
The SDGs are “a blueprint for action so that all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – can prosper, protect the planet and live in peace” (United Nations, 2022). At La Sultana, we integrate these goals into all our practices, from the careful selection of raw materials to the artisanal manufacturing of our products, including ecological and minimalist packaging.
Our commitment to the SDGs is reflected in our mission to create high-quality natural soaps and skincare products, while promoting sustainable development. We strive to reduce our ecological footprint, respect the rights and dignity of all people involved in our production chain, and promote ethical and responsible practices.
By adopting the 17 SDGs, La Sultana is committed to actively contributing to a future where the economy, society and the environment can thrive in harmony. We believe that every action counts and that collectively we can make a positive difference for our planet and future generations.
How is La Sultana Savonnerie doing its part to achieve the SDGs?
BY WOMEN TO STOP VULNERABILITY AND POVERTY
La Sultana is a women-owned business. In Quebec, women’s economic situation and vulnerability to poverty show notable disparities compared to men. In 2021, the low-income rate for women aged 16 and over was 10.6%, compared to 9.2% for men. This difference highlights the persistence of economic inequalities between the sexes ( SOURCE ).
Statistics show that women are more likely to live in precarious economic conditions. Various factors contribute to this situation, including wage gaps, the overrepresentation of women in part-time jobs and lower-paid sectors, as well as domestic and family responsibilities often disproportionately borne by women ( SOURCE ).
The Government of Quebec regularly publishes detailed reports and statistics to monitor the evolution of poverty and socioeconomic inequalities. These resources aim to provide empirical data to inform public policies and initiatives aimed at reducing poverty and promoting economic equality.
ECO-RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION
Our products contain eco-friendly, ethical, organic ingredients and materials and, above all, a lot of passion and love. Our packaging and shipping materials are simple and minimalist, thus reducing our ecological footprint and production costs. We do not buy artificial colors, detergents, parabens, surfactants from petroleum chemistry and preservatives. We have eliminated all micas and palm oil from our production, even for those called "ethical".
GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
We are dedicated to providing exceptional quality natural soaps and skincare products, in line with UNESCO's Sustainable Development Goals. Our products, made with care and respect for the environment, combine effectiveness, gentleness and natural benefits. Each soap and skincare product is rich in essential ingredients, supporting overall well-being. We maintain the highest quality standards to provide authentic products that nourish the body and mind, while promoting a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
RESPECT FOR EARTH LIFE
At Sultana Savonnerie, we are committed to sustainable practices to minimize our environmental impact. We recycle, favor local and sustainable ingredients, and consume only what we need. We respect wildlife by choosing raw materials from ethical and responsible sources, and we ensure that our production supports respectful environmental management practices. We believe in collaborating with local communities to promote production methods that preserve ecosystems and support the health and well-being of all. Our products are cruelty-free and we ensure that the ingredients we use are as well.
