Customer feedback

"The Community of Practice teaches me to trust and benefit from the benevolence and competence of other members to contribute to the green transition. I've learned that vulnerability, openness and trust generate not competition, but collaboration, support and commitment. Sharing information, experiences, skills, strengths and also our difficulties, challenges and solutions, helps form the bond that unites us. Together we are stronger people. Join us!"

“For the past two years, this community has been a source of inspiration, validation, and networking for me. The plenary discussions, working groups, and co-development sessions have allowed me to refine my practices and incorporate practical tools into my coaching. As a business consultant, I find a supportive network of experienced professionals with whom I can co-create solutions. At every meeting, I leave with new ideas, renewed confidence, and a deep sense of belonging to a family committed to a shared goal: Quebec’s sustainable transition.”

“Participating in the QNP community of practice has become an essential part of my role as an expert in eco-responsible practices at Développement économique de l’agglomération de Longueuil. This collaborative space provides me with a stimulating environment to engage with dedicated professionals, share concrete initiatives, ask questions, and draw inspiration from colleagues working on climate transition and decarbonization. This community helps me better engage with and convince businesses to take action on climate transition. Here, I find tools, ideas, and above all, renewed confidence to support businesses in the Montérégie region. These meetings enrich my practice, strengthen my network, and help collectively accelerate the socio-climatic transformation of our region, the Montérégie. A valuable and inspiring community for moving forward together. »
