Food biodiversity: Seeds at your disposal

HEC Montréal now has its own seed library, a creative way to distribute seeds to support food autonomy. The initiative, part of the Hectare urbain project, also promotes the circular economy by giving a new life to old filing cabinets. The seed library is the result of the work of many of our community members, including student Quentin Faure and librarian and volunteer Daphné Bélizaire. The project is supported by the HEC library team and received a financial contribution from WWF-Canada.

Proud that my work reflects my values!

“All people are interdependent and interconnected. My role allows me to mobilize the alumni community and various stakeholders around HEC Montréal’s vision of sustainability transition. Their philanthropic involvement contributes to the accomplishment of our projects, and to the training of the next generation of responsible management professionals, who will address these issues. I feel proud that I’m part of this collective movement and that my work reflects my values!”
