GRANDS PRIX CYCLISTES’ COMMITMENTS

Grands Prix Cyclistes de Québec et de Montréal environmental commitments

Driven by the desire to build a sustainable legacy through our events, we have been making environmental and social commitments for several years. In this way, we have drawn up a 3-year action plan, grouping together over 80 actions to be implemented in 6 areas of intervention.

Residual materials, water & energy | Transportation, travel & GHGs | Responsible sourcing & food | Natural environments, biodiversity & climate | Community & social practices | Commitments, awareness & communication.
