Sustainable development is no longer just a trend

As a business established in the Outaouais region since 1981, we have a responsibility to reflect on our ways of doing things, our technology choices and the impact of our operations on our community. Sustainable development is no longer just a trend: it’s a necessity for building organizations that are more responsible, more resilient and better prepared for the future.

That’s why GMS Sécurité has joined the Good4Global movement. This policy sets out our intentions regarding our environmental and social responsibility.

Definition of sustainable development

We adhere to the definition put forward by the Government of Quebec under the Sustainable Development Act: “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable development is based on a long-term vision that takes into account the inseparable nature of the environmental, social and economic dimensions of development activities.”

Social and environmental statement

So we can all benefit together from a healthy living environment, we also support organizations whose primary mission is the protection of the environment, and more specifically everything related to the fight against waste, recovery, repair and the revalorization of objects.

Policies
