Sustainable Finance
Sustainable Finance:
Fundamental to Québec's flourishing financial industry
Finance Montréal’s ambition is to make sustainable finance a key element in developing and showcasing Québec’s financial industry. Our activities consist of bringing together players from Montréal and Québec’s financial centers, committed to finance that addresses environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, while ensuring positive impacts for the economy and communities.
« When the economy must transform out of necessity, finance must also change. Montreal and Quebec have what it takes to be leaders among the major international financial centers at the forefront of sustainable finance. »
Geneviève Morin
CEO of Fondaction
Chair of the Sustainable Finance Committee
To do so, the activities of the Finance and Sustainability Initiative translate into concrete actions aimed specifically at differentiating the province by the depth of its expertise in sustainable finance, strengthening collaborations between actors in Québec’s ESG ecosystem and building on Montréal's international profile as a leading financial center in this area.
