In collaboration with the consulting firm ADDERE, the Corporation Ski & Golf Mont-Orford has adopted since the fall of 2021 a sustainable development strategy and action plan based on 7 central pillars representing our framework of operation:

  • Governance: Each of the orientations and decisions are taking regarding our particular structure as a non-profit organization, our position in the Mont-Orford National Park and the objectives of the Quebec Ministry of Education.
  • Environment: Through our diversified service offer, several policies allow the implementation and monitoring of eco-responsible practices.
  • Water: Through rigorous monitoring, we provide access to quality water to our customers and employees.
  • Social: Social equity enables the full development of all genders, the development of communities and respect for diversity.
  • Cultural: Cultural influence contributes to the objective of "living together" shared by the common passion of artists, sportsmen, contemplatives and other disciplines to make our site a space conducive to the development of our community.
  • Communication: Via our communication plan, we address the training, education and awareness aspects of our employees, customers and suppliers.
