Women are historically underrepresented in science and technology-related jobs. Conceived by ÉTS and powered by RBC, the G-CHANGE program's mission is to inspire up-and-coming women aged 15-19 to choose STEM to innovate and act as real agents of change. Following the success of the 2020 event, new partners have been added to support the program. In addition, for the 2021 event, ÉTS has invested $133,660.05 in the G-Change program to help fund the various positions necessary for its success.
Many of the themes addressed during the program's events are related to sustainable development, such as human health, environmental impacts and the role of the engineer, the impacts of human activities on climate change, agriculture, etc.). Also, at the 2021 event, the panel was represented solely by women (approximately 60).

The Partenariat Climat Montréal (PCM) is an initiative that builds on the expertise of existing organizations. It is an independent initiative that brings together economic, communities, philanthropic and institutional organizations recognized for their degree of commitment to the climate issue and their capacity to influence it. The project is ambitious: to mobilize key players in the Montreal community to help reduce GHG emissions by 55% by 2030 and put the city on the path to carbon neutrality by 2050.
ÉTS is a consulting partner of the CMP. It collaborates concretely through the participation of its professor Danielle Monfet on the ""Building"" working group as well as through the numerous exchanges between the ÉTS Sustainable Development Team and the CMP management team.
