Acting Responsibly and Developing Sustainably

Sustainable development: a fruitful initiative

Image - Sustainable Development

In 2005, Loto-Québec launched a sustainable development initiative that includes the organization’s economic, social and environmental spheres. In so doing, the Corporation reinforced the numerous practices it already had in place and integrated various new initiatives in order to tangibly and proactively meet the expectations of the various parties concerned.

Strong Guidance

A committee in charge of social responsibility and sustainable development keeps the initiative on track and closely monitors its progress. The committee is made up of some 20 employees from our headquarters and subsidiaries. Loto-Québec is also home to 15 or so committees whose mandate is to propose further sustainable development initiatives.

Since our Sustainable Development Policy (in French only) [PDF Format, 288 KB - Help, last update on June 12, 2007] was adopted in 2006, the Board of Directors has been kept abreast of all progress made on the dossier. As part of our 2007-2010 strategic planning exercise, each of Loto-Québec’s business units has integrated sustainable development actions into its operational plan, each of which includes specific targets, indicators and deadlines.

An annual review is used to follow up on the policy adopted in 2006. During the previous fiscal year, 87% of the targets were reached on average, an excellent outcome for the first year of such an initiative.

An Action Plan in Sync with the Government’s Strategy

Tabled in the province’s legislative assembly in late 2007, the Government Sustainable Development Strategy 2008-2013 is now in the final stages of implementation. In the same manner as the other government departments and publicly administered agencies in Québec, Loto-Québec will publish its own action plan by March 31, 2009.

Committed to a structured process inspired by the Government of Québec’s example, Loto-Québec joined forces with the Comité interministériel de développement durable, an arena for discussion involving representatives from all Government of Quebec departments and certain Government agencies.
