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.

Sustainable development

We offer support to organizations that:

Ease the transition toward sustainable mobility;
Help communicate knowledge in accessible terms and mobilize climate change stakeholders;
Increase Quebecers’ awareness of the issue and encourage them to adopt low-carbon behavior.

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
