Does the institution have a published strategic plan or equivalent guiding document that includes sustainability at a high level? :
A brief description of how the institution’s strategic plan or equivalent guiding document addresses sustainability:
The 2016-2019 strategic plan includes SD concepts in various axis. In the "Training" axis, the notions of innovation, entrepreneurship and value creation are put forward. In the "Research" axis, the emergence of new niches is being promoted. In the "Living Environment" axis, we find elements of access to equipment and laboratories, the use of the campus as a living lab, the promotion of open learning, the development and enhancement of green spaces and living spaces on campus, the promotion and organization of cultural and social activities with the ÉTS community and with the neighbourhood community. Finally, in the "governance and management" axis, there are the notions of continuous improvement of staff skills and a succession plan for all staff.

During summer 2018, a broad consultation of internal and external stakeholders led to a report aimed to establish a master plan for the urban development of the ÉTS campus. The majority of the recommendations contained in this report are related to sustainable development. The five main aspects of the consultation are as followed:
Sustainable mobility
Street furniture
Security
Beautification and greening
Territorial identity
This report details all the recommendations: https://www.etsmtl.ca/getattachment/A-surveiller/CampusETS/CAMPUS-ETS-RapportFinalConsultations-abrege.pdf
The 2017-2020 Strategic Research Plan clearly identifies sustainable development as the common denominator of its strategy. It is defined as the transversal element of the eight priority research themes. The eight priority research themes are: aerospace, energy, environment, infrastructure and built environments, materials and manufacturing, health, information and communication technologies, and land transport. The strategic research plan states: "Since the role of the engineer is to put science at the service of humanity, ÉTS also recognizes that university-based engineering research must be carried out with a view to achieving positive impacts not only in economic terms, but also in terms of the environment and society, that is, by promoting a focus on sustainable development. » The 2017-2020 Strategic Research Plan : https://www.etsmtl.ca/Recherche/Ressources/Documents-reference/PRS_2017-2020_vcourte_francais.pdf
