IMPACT - Mobilising Industries for Climate Action and Transition

A Multi-Cluster Initiative to Accelerate the Decarbonization of Québec Businesses

These days, the economic context is demanding, and businesses must focus their efforts on their core priorities. Climate change therefore does not always rank at the top of the list. IMPACT brings this reflection back to the center of the conversation, with a practical and no‑taboo approach. Because, at its core, the real question for SMEs is quite simple: what do they stand to gain by undertaking their transition?

 

IMPACT is a project born from a shared realization among Québec’s industrial clusters. Faced with the climate emergency, new international regulations, and pressure from markets and investors, decarbonizing industries is no longer optional—it is a strategic necessity for the competitiveness, resilience, and attractiveness of our businesses. Yet, while 82% of Québec companies believe it is urgent to act, nearly half have not yet begun any process (Québec Net Positif, 2024). 

A Collaborative and Transformative Initiative The I.M.P.A.C.T. project is built on an unprecedented collaboration among six industrial clusters: ...

Launched in spring 2026, its mission is to help companies within these clusters take action toward decarbonization, ensuring the long-term sustainability of Québec’s industries. As the first inter-cluster project of this scale, IMPACT takes four main pathways to achieve this objective:

01
Inspiring companies to take action by promoting real stories of Québec SMEs that have acted on climate;
02
Encouraging them to make explicit commitments to take action;
03
Informing them about existing solutions and training managers across various functions in decarbonization;
04
Equipping them to take concrete action by supporting their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint.

By pooling the expertise, networks, and resources of the clusters, IMPACT creates a strong collective lever, building momentum for action and economies of scale, thereby reducing the financial and operational burdens of the transition for each organization.
