Commitment to Sustainable Tourism
Sustainable tourism plays a key role in preserving the beauty and vitality of the St. Lawrence River and its surroundings.
The Grand Quay of the Port of Montreal holds the GreenStep label — Level 3, recognizing concrete actions taken toward sustainability.
It is the only Canadian sustainable tourism certification accredited by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). This approach makes it possible to measure implemented initiatives and reinforces a commitment to delivering a tourism experience that combines responsibility, innovation, and respect for the environment.
A Tangible Commitment
Launched in June 2021, the Sustainable Tourism 2030 Commitment supports tourism businesses and destinations in enhancing their social, cultural, environmental, and economic performance. It is aligned with GSTC-recognized criteria and contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
