Commitment to sustainable development earns international recognition

On March 30, 2007, the Declaration of the Communicators and Public Relations Professionals of Quebec on Sustainable Development,  signed in October 2006, received international recognition at a ceremony at UN headquarters in New York:

« “We applaud this commitment; it sets out the essential role of communicators in enhancing values that advance sustainable development in all spheres of society. We hope this broad-based initiative from Québec’s professional community will serve as a catalyst and will provide a model for the communications community that can be used around the world”.
