Santropol Roulant

Santropol Roulant is an innovative community organization in Montreal that offers an inter-generational meals-on-wheels program. The Roulant delivers healthy and nutritious - and often locally-sourced, - organic meals to clients, many of whom are seniors.

The organization employs 12 staff, coordinates dozens of volunteers and is the largest independent meals on-wheels program in Montreal. Already committed to sustainability through many actions such as delivery by bicycle, sourcing local and organic food when possible, a roof-top garden, and composting, Santropol Roulant asked The Natural Step Canada to help develop a common language around sustainability and to articulate their long-term sustainability vision both internally and externally.

There were training and planning workshops with a core team of staff and volunteers. This spawned the Eco-Challenge/ Éco-Défi that outlines strategic actions for Santropol Roulant in eight areas and identifies several indicators to better document the organization’s progress.
