OUTDOOR FUND 1% FOR THE PLANET

Working together to reduce the ecological footprint of outdoor and adventure tourism in Quebec!

Nature is Quebec's greatest wealth. It is the raw material that allows our companies to offer incredible experiences to our visitors.
In 2020, at a time of climate emergency and major environmental issues, our nature and adventure companies decide to act to protect the environment by joining the international 1% for the Planet collective and commit to donating 1% of their sales to the Outdoor Fund 1% for the Planet.

For a more sustainable and responsible outdoors stay un Québec, choose a company who contributes to the Outdoors Fund 1% For The Planet.

Investing in the protection of nature in Quebec

With the Outdoor Fund 1% for the Planet, we wish to support structuring projects that will protect and enhance Quebec's ecosystems and help our companies adopt concrete actions to reduce their ecological footprint.

The funds will be given to Quebec NGOs that contribute :

• To the protection or restoration of Quebec ecosystems;
• Offsetting carbon emissions emitted by our businesses;
• Fight against climate change.
  
  For exemple : Groupe de recherche et d’éducation sur les mammifères marins (GREMM); Société pour la nature et les parcs du Canada, section Québec (SNAP) ; Carbone Boréal, Planet Air, Arbre Évolution... etc.

The funds will also be invested directly in Quebec nature and adventure businesses to help in the implementation of sustainable development actions and their ecotourism accreditation process.
