Our Involvement

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Charter of GoExport Inc.

GoExport aims to develop stronger relations between Quebec and Latin America. We acknowledge that healthy ties between North and Latin America do not solely rely on trade. The commitments taken by GoExport in its CSR charter have an objective of contributing to the development of cultural and social ties between Québec and Latin America and vice versa.

GoExport Inc. is committed to being a responsible company that is involved in its community but also in countries where it does business. Our multidisciplinary team is committed to use its expertise in business development in Latin America to support various non-profit organizations (NPOs).

GoExport also aims to support NPOs that are part of the communities where we do business. Thus, being native of Bois-des- Fillion, GoExport is proud to support the Studio de la Relève, an NPO located in Rosemère that fights against school dropout in the North Shore. We are also members of the Micro-Credit Fund of the Basse-Laurentides. Nowadays, since our offices are located in the Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie in Montreal, GoExport decided to support Cyclo Nord-Sud, a local NPO, in the search for new partners in Latin America.

Our involvement

Le Studio de la Rèleve in Mexico

The involvement of GoExport goes back to the founding of the Studio. Indeed, Mathieu Alarie met Christophe Danetz during the presentation of his project at the Quebec Entrepreneurship Contest. Seduced my Danetz idea, Alarie wanted to invest his time in the Studio. Danetz and Alarie came up with the idea of a cultural exchange with Mexico. With the support of GoExport, relationships have been established with the Secretariat of Culture of Mexico, the FARO cultural network, the Quebec Delegation in Mexico, the ecological NPO Initiativas Innovadoras para el Desarrollo Sustenable AC (IIDSAC) and the social circus Machincuepa supported by Cirque du Soleil. This year, an employee of GoExport, Eleonore Kuentz, coordinated communication between the Studio and the Mexican organizations, and also accompanied the group that went to Mexico to serve as an interpreter during their stay.

Cyclo Nord-Sud in Latin America

The partnership between GoExport and Cyclo Nord-Sud is very recent.  Cyclo Nord-Sud  is an initiative that seeks to provide bikes to help transport systems in areas in Latin America and Africa, where income does not cover families basic needs. In October 2013, GoExport volunteered to support Cyclo Nord-Sud in the search for new partners in Latin America, especially in Mexico. We are also working to determine the best ways to send bikes to Nicaragua and what are the regulations in place for the export of used bikes in Mexico. A final project is to determine whether certain regions of Brazil may require the projects like the ones that developed Cyclo Nord-Sud. GoExport is also a member on the basis of an annual donation.

Microcredit Fund

GoExport is part of the administrative council of the Microcredit Fund of the Basses-Laurentides. This fund aims to develop the entrepreneurial potential of people with low incomes, which are therefore excluded from conventional financing sources like banks. The Fund provides them with technical support and access to financing in the form of micro-credit in order to help them implement their business projects.
