Innovative methodology
La méthodologie du Baromètre est élaborée en partenariat avec des institutions prestigieuses, telles que le Laboratoire interdisciplinaire de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (LIRSE) de l'Université Laval, l’Université d'Ottawa, l’Institut de tourisme et d'hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ), le Centre international de référence sur l'analyse de cycle de vie et la transition durable (CIRAIG) et le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines (CRSH).
Cette collaboration permet de nous appuyer sur les dernières connaissances scientifiques et les meilleures pratiques, tant au Canada qu’à l’international, qui tiennent compte de normes reconnues, dont l’ISO 20400, et de lignes directrices.
