Acting responsibly, developing sustainably
In 2005, Loto-Québec embarked on its sustainable development initiative, which encompasses a full range of economic, social and environmental aspects and is fuelled by a dedication to responsible management. Falling under the authority of the Senior Vice-Presidency of Corporate Communications and Public Affairs, the initiative is an integral part of Loto-Québec’s 2007-2010 Strategic Plan, and the Corporation’s efforts in this area have positioned it as a leader among the province’s public-sector organizations.
As prescribed by the Sustainable Development Act adopted in April 2006, Loto-Québec published the results of its sustainable development initiative in a special section of its 2006-2007 Annual Report, and the Corporation has established a concrete sustainable development policy. Adopted by the Board of Directors in November 2006, this policy is in complete compliance with the Act. Moreover,
Loto-Québec is awaiting the announcement of the Québec Government's Sustainable Development Strategy by December 31, 2007 at the latest, which will enable the Corporation to further extend the scope of its sustainable development action plan.
This second issue of What’s New at Loto-Québec outlines some of the accomplishments realized by the Corporation as part of its sustainable development initiative, as well as the latest news about the organization. As we value your opinion, we encourage you to send any comments you may have to endirect@loto‑quebec.com.

Acting responsibly, developing sustainably
A sustainable development policy for Loto-Québec
 Loto-Québec has established a sustainable development policy, which was adopted by its Board of Directors in November 2006 and consists of 11 specific commitments and 27 concrete goals. Unveiled to all employees and the general public in spring 2007, the policy underlines the Corporation’s firm commitment to sustainability and encompasses a full range of economic, social and environmental aspects. Fuelled by a dedication to responsible management, the policy also complies fully with the Sustainable Development Act adopted by the Québec Government in April 2006.
The sustainable development policy is available for consultation on the Loto-Québec Web site.
Loto-Québec establishes partnership with the City of Montréal for 2007-2009
 As part of phase 2 of Montréal’s 2007-2009 Sustainable Development Strategic Plan, 76 organizations*, including Loto Québec, have committed to achieving at least five of the 36 actions proposed by the City. For its part, Loto Québec identified 21 actions that are in line with the realization of its own actions. As a continuation of the initial phase, this second phase of Montréal’s Strategic Plan consolidates four high-priority goals:
- Improvement of air quality and reduction of GHG emissions
- Improvement of residential areas
- Responsible management of resources
- Adoption of sound sustainable development practices
You can consult Montréal’s 2007-2009 Strategic Plan for Sustainable Development on the City of Montréal Web site.
