Though guided by government policies and action plans, the Palais was motivated by true convictions when committing to sustainable development initiatives. Working together with Montréal, an essential partner and leader in promoting sustainable events, the Palais takes pride in always going the extra mile to make a difference.
In addition to our daily efforts to minimize our environmental footprint, we are one of the first convention centres in the Americas to have a carbon-neutral building. To achieve this, we offset greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the building’s energy use by contributing to the management and planting of trees on four hectares of Université Laval’s Montmorency Forest, the largest university teaching and research forest in the world.
