The STM was proud to learn that its 2020 Sustainable Development Plan is a finalist in the « Business – Implementing a strategic approach to sustainability » category for a Phénix award for the environment.

These awards serve to recognize the excellence and know-how of Québec companies and organizations with respect to sustainable development. They are the highest environmental honours awarded in Québec. Submitted applications undergo a stringent evaluation process.

As one of the finalist applications, the STM’s 2020 Sustainable Development Plan is also eligible for the « Coup de cœur du public », or people’s choice award. The STM therefore invites all transit customers, partners, associates and the public to show their support for its commitment to sustainability by casting a vote for the STM.

Why vote for the STM and its 2020 Sustainable Development Plan?

  • The 2020 Sustainable Development Plan illustrates the company’s overriding commitment to sustainability.  
  • The plan is also notable for being integrated into the STM’s 2020 Strategic Plan that aims to place sustainable development at the centre of all corporate decisions.
  • The many stakeholders who worked on preparing the plan appreciate its transversal, rather than compartmentalized, approach to the three pillars – environmental, social and economic – of sustainable development. 
  • The two main components – sustainable mobility and sustainable management – reflect the STM’s contribution to sustainability.
  • The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) recognized the STM as one of the transit organizations in North America that is most committed to sustainable development by awarding it a Gold Level Distinction in its prestigious « Sustainability Commitment » recognition program.  
Michael Roschlau, CEO of the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA), had these words about the STM’s 2020 Sustainable Development Plan: « If every transit organization in Canada adopted such an approach and showed such commitment, we would indeed have a great industry. »
