CIUSSS sustainable development report

The CIUSSS’s Sustainable Development team recently presented a report that describes current activities and lays the foundation for future actions in our facilities. In 2018, our CIUSSS was among the first institutions in Montreal to adopt a sustainable development policy. The following year, a sustainable development committee was created. The report reaffirms our CIUSSS’s commitment in 11 key areas of intervention—such as food, energy efficiency, water management and IT—and pledges to strengthen the implementation of this approach.
