Two Community Engagement Experts at the Heart of Boralex’s Local Relations

At Boralex, dialogue with local communities is far more than a secondary aspect of our renewable energy projects—it is a strategic priority. As leaders of Boralex’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative “Communities and Engagement,” Stéphanie Pinette-Simard and Scévole De Livonniere embody this commitment every day

Our approach to territorial dialogue

Scévole focuses on territorial dialogue as a driver of social acceptability and shared value creation:

“Our connection with local stakeholders is what allows us to act sustainably, root our projects in the community, and ensure transparent information sharing.”

Stéphanie, a proud member of the Innu Nation, plays a key role in intercultural dialogue:

“What motivates me is being able to make a real difference for Indigenous communities.”

Concrete actions to strengthen community ties

Far from generic promises, Boralex’s CSR teams deliver tangible initiatives that create real impact:

  • Train and hire locally: On the Apuiat wind project, Boralex developed training programs tailored to Indigenous realities to promote local employability.
  • Mobilize field teams: In France, more than 75 colleagues maintain daily relationships with local stakeholders.
  • Support local initiatives: Boralex invests in communities through partnerships, sponsorships, and participation in cultural and sporting events.

Building stronger and more sustainable relationships

Looking ahead, Boralex’s goal is clear: to strengthen social actions, share best practices across regions, and adapt partnerships to the realities of each territory. This tailored approach is deeply rooted in meeting the concrete needs of local communities.

At Boralex, we believe that engagement is key to a successful energy transition. Explore our career opportunities and help build lasting relationships with communities.
