30 actions to make a difference
For 30 years, APRIL Marine has been more than just an insurance company. Our passionate team is committed to building a more humane, supportive, and sustainable world, both on the water and on land. This selection of 30 initiatives highlights the small and large gestures that have shaped our history, such as waste collection in marine environments, supporting families of neurodivergent children, women’s fishing projects, training young sailors, and adopting iconic St. Lawrence animals.
These commitments reflect our values: passing on, protecting, and sailing with heart. Together, we continue to make every wave count.
Mission 1000 Tonnes
In addition to Mission 1000 Tonnes, we are actively involved in cleaning up Quebec’s shores and waterways. Each year, our teams participate in cleanups that remove hundreds of kilos of waste. This initiative not only protects our ecosystems but also raises awareness in the boating community. Together, we’re restoring the beauty of the St. Lawrence River.
