OUR VALUES
For Lauzon Bélanger Lesp�rance, equity and justice go above and beyond the spirit which animates customer service. These principles are expressed daily by the constant awareness of the value of each person's contribution, to give each community their self-confidence back while trying to re-establish an equilibrium in the use of human and natural resources at all levels. From day to day, the firm makes an effort to apply such principles.
Therefore, by using recycled paper, the firm saves the equivalent of an average of 25 mature trees a year. Also, the firm enforces the policy of purchasing supplies and accessories that favour, where possible, products made by communities whose work is remunerated at its fair value. Furthermore, the author's rights of Mr. Michel Bélanger's work entitled : “La responsabilité de l'État et de ses sociétés en environnement”, published in 1994, were paid to the Centre québécois du droit de l'environnement, a non-profit organization founded by Mr. Bélanger, whose vocation is to promote citizens'rights to a environment of quality.
By way of the para-professional activities of the lawyers and members of its personnel, Lauzon Bélanger Lesp�rance, is known for its commitment to different community organizations that share the same values.
These activities and management decisions are but small contributions to a global transition in the values and priorities of
our society.
