Strong business network

The certification gives you access to a network of businesses committed to shared values.

Proudly display your commitment

The Enfant Soleil-certified business seal, where the "E" embraces the sun and the word "certified" is clearly asserted, reflects your commitment to a cause that truly makes a difference. This symbol allows you to proudly assert your role as an essential ally in Enfant Soleil's mission.

By bearing this seal, you show your clients and partners that you are a business deeply committed to supporting children and their families.

Membership criteria

Enfant Soleil is happy to welcome any business that shares its values and is committed to financially supporting its mission.

Certified businesses are pillars of our mission’s vitality. There are different levels of financial commitment to choose from, starting at $5,000 per year. Contact us to learn more about the opportunities available to you.

More than the recognition of a one-time donation, certification testifies to an ongoing commitment, which is essential to the resilience of the Enfant Soleil movement. Enfant Soleil-certified businesses are therefore organizations that make a long-term commitment to Enfant Soleil.

Certified businesses promote Enfant Soleil's cause as a whole and can demonstrate that they take or are committed to taking concrete action to uphold these key values:

  • Children's health
  • Transparency
  • Mutual aid
  • Recognition

"The certification has helped strengthen the Lepelco family while creating new perspectives. What's more, during our job interviews, about one in three candidates mentions wanting to work with us because of our involvement."
