About us
Since 1977, Familiprix has been a cornerstone of community healthcare in Quebec and New Brunswick. Established initially under Médico-Prix, the brand was renamed Familiprix in 1980, symbolizing its commitment to accessible, patient-centric care. From its inception, Familiprix has united independent pharmacists eager to provide a humane alternative to large commercial chains, forming a network that now includes over 430 branches and 7,200 dedicated employees. This unique model in Quebec, where each branch is owned by its pharmacists, allows the company to maintain close ties with local communities and foster an environment of trust for its customers.
When it comes to environmental responsibility, Familiprix upholds an ambitious eco-responsible vision, rooted in the belief that human health is intrinsically linked to the planet's well-being. This commitment is reflected in a comprehensive five-pronged sustainability strategy that influences every aspect of its operations. Notably, the company aims to minimize the ecological impact of its activities by implementing concrete practices, such as managing and recycling various residual materials at its head office and using electric trucks for deliveries.
Familiprix is deeply engaged in community support, actively backing Opération Enfant Soleil for over 30 years and continuously rallying its employees around social causes and ethical practices.
Its Ethical Beauty section features skincare products that adhere to stringent environmental and animal welfare standards. Familiprix's commitment to sustainability extends to its private brands, which prioritize eco-responsible suppliers and reduce the sale of single-use products, encouraging consumers to make greener choices.
Finally, as a key component of its comprehensive sustainable development strategy, Familiprix educates its employees, customers, and partners on the importance of responsible consumption and hosts events designed to have minimal environmental impact. A dedicated sustainable development committee monitors adherence to this strategy, ensuring that all company activities are consistent with its eco-responsible vision.
By merging innovation, community involvement, and sustainability, Familiprix is redefining the role of the modern pharmacy, demonstrating that it is possible to combine health care, community proximity, and respect for the planet.
