As a government corporation, Hydro-Québec’s contribution to Québec society goes far beyond the annual dividend we pay to the government. We strive to maximize the positive social impact of our investments in the community.

Hydro‑Québec prioritizes three social issues

In collaboration with organizations throughout Québec, we strive to create positive and lasting change in the environmental, economic and social spheres. Our Social Responsibility Directive prioritizes three social issues—sustainable development, the vitality of Québec’s regions and social inclusion.

Fighting climate change in Québec

We offer support to organizations that:

  • Help communicate knowledge in accessible terms and mobilize climate change stakeholders;
  • Encourage Quebecers to adopt low‑carbon behavior and ease the transition toward sustainable mobility;
  • Raise awareness among Quebecers about adopting behaviors that promote biodiversity and contribute to the protection of sustainable living environments.

Regional vitality

We support organizations working in the following three areas:

  • Promoting and supporting entrepreneurship
  • Maintaining and enhancing artistic and cultural contributions
  • Providing access to scientific and technological content that prepares the next generation for the jobs of the future

Social inclusion

We would like to help reduce the number of Quebecers living below the poverty line. To do so, we support:

  • Centraide
  • Organizations that intervene directly with socially excluded young people
