As an artisan, what do you get out of being part of L'Empreinte coopérative?
I have learned so much from being surrounded by the rich talent of my colleagues. I especially love hearing the different perspectives on how to run a business like L'Empreinte.
Do you have a special memory or moment related to L'Empreinte that you would like to share with us on this page?
Not one particular moment, but rather the solidarity I witnessed among my colleagues during Covid and the resilience and ingenuity they displayed to keep our co-op alive and thriving.
