Employees are an instrumental part of the business and are included in decision-making whenever possible. Trèd’si is also active within the community through the support it provides to individuals and organizations such as the Sentiers de l’Estrie, for example by contributing to the creation of hiking trails to highlight regional wildlife and plant life.
