The Palais des Congrès de Montréal is proud to have had its BOMA BEST Environmental Certification renewed until 2020. This signifies that the Palais' Environmental Performance and the Fulfilment of its Commitments have been duly recognized and certified by Canada's Largest Environmental Assessment and Certification Program.

The Sustainability Action Plan and Sustainable Development Policy at the Core of its Strategy are ensuring the Viability of its Commitment. Also, the Responsible Procurement Policy it recently adopted is Raising Awareness among the Palais' Staff, Partners and Suppliers about the Importance of Consuming, Producing and Purchasing Responsibly.

* An Urban Farming Lab As A Form Of Green Roofing
When the Palais des Congrès de Montréal opened its Urban Agriculture Lab in 2016, in Collaboration with AU/Lab, an Organization associated with the Faculty of Science and the Institute of Environmental Science of the Université du Québec àMontréal (UQAM), it became the Main Showcase in Québec for Experimenting with and advocating for Urban Farming Technologies and Techniques.
The Lab's VERTical project is among the activities endorsed by the "Carrefour de recherche, d'expertise et de transfert en agriculture urbaine" jointly set up by the Québec department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the city of Montréal and UQAM. The project, which earned the Palais the 2017 AIPC Innovation Award, has attracted the interest of the scientific community and the media.
