Biodiversity Performance Report

Hydro-Québec operates a huge fleet of facilities, and in doing so affects biodiversity in the surrounding habitats. In order to ensure responsible and sustainable management, it carries out its activities in a way that protects biodiversity and its associated ecological services.
