At Boralex, CSR issues are part of our growth strategy. One of the targets of our 2025 Strategic Plan, along with our financial targets, is to set the CSR standard for our partners by going beyond renewable energies.
- This integration means that at every stage in the deployment of our strategic plan, we consider not only why we are producing renewable energy, but also how, considering the extra-financial impacts arising directly from our activities and our entire value chain. This leads us to proactively manage the risks and repercussions of our activities, and to properly equip ourselves to identify opportunities to improve our practices and access new markets.
- Our growth strategy, which integrates our CSR orientations, will ensure Boralex’s sustainable expansion. We also strive to deliver superior long-term financial returns to our shareholders, while working in a spirit of cooperation with the communities and territories in which we operate.
