Transition barometers

Our regional and sectoral Quebec Business Transition Barometers™ provide cities, MRCs, economic clusters and developers with a clear picture of the climate commitment of businesses in their territory or sector. Thanks to our large-scale annual survey representative of all Quebec businesses, we provide reliable comparative data to orient strategies, target interventions, guide action plans and measure progress specific to each territory or sector.

Catalyst for positive net economic transformation


As a catalyst for climate action by SMEs, we bring together key players within the business ecosystem to better understand the determining factors and actions to be taken to help SMEs respond to the climate emergency, seize new business opportunities and prepare to operate in a Low-carbon SMEs economy.
We envision a Québec net Positive by 2050 that will provide more services to the planet than its population and businesses will need to live and operate. To get there, we're fostering the emergence of bold, sometimes complex alliances to move economic models towards circularity, robustness and regeneration, in step with the challenges of the century for humanity and nature.
We remain on the lookout for opportunities to move towards plausible transition pathways, mobilizing around the opportunities to be seized rather than the problems to be solved.

Our leadership is based on an optimistic and rigorous approach, rooted in science and attentive to the dynamics of ongoing climate and economic transformation.
