Nada Conseils
Nada is a consulting firm specializing in climate action and diversity & inclusion in organizations. Its multidisciplinary approach is based on the application of research and innovative concepts within its two business lines. The services offered are varied, but can be summed up in two main types.
The first is to support organizations in their commitment to the ecological and social transition that is underway to serve the planet, individuals and organizations. in terms of diversity & inclusion, we help leaderships and organisations to understand their internal contexts, develop action plans, implement and monitor sustainable and meaningful initiatives. Similarly, in terms of climate action, we help companies measure and reduce their environmental footprint or understand their exposure to climate risks.
The second type of mandate concerns applied research projects, mainly for the public sector, to gain a deeper understanding of certain issues relating to diversity & inclusion or climate action. For example, we carried out a research project to understand the consequences of severe water deficits in Quebec in the context of climate change, and to help municipalities and other water users adapt to more frequent and severe water shortages.
The desire to build a more just, more sustainable world was born over 15 years ago between two university friends. Its eventual development into a business project had to wait until 2022, when Nada was launched. From a small consulting firm, we now employ two professionals in addition to the two co-founders. We've also built up and maintained a large network of collaborators, enabling us to both seek out new contracts and assemble world-class project teams.
Our vision is of a world where people and nature are at the heart of prosperity and common well-being. This vision is embodied in our determination to break down the boundaries between the two fields on which we provide expertise, so as to work more holistically on the biggest challenges of our time.
Nada's mission is to support public and private organizations in understanding and resolving the major issues of our time. We seek to act as connectors between knowledge and concrete action, between disciplines and between organizations wishing to make a real commitment.
More broadly, we aim to build a company whose success will be measured not just by the financial profitability of its activities, but by its ability to make a difference on the matters that are important to us. We believe in using entrepreneurship as a vector of change to benefit individuals and the planet.
This philosophy enables us to position ourselves distinctively in an increasingly competitive market, where expertise is gradually being built up among both the major players in consulting services and the smaller, highly niche players. This market evolution is driven by a growing interest in climate change and diversity & inclusion issues.
We operate with the values of courage to achieve our ambitions, humility in our relationships, innovation in our solutions and pleasure in our work.
