Site in the spotlight: Sustainability Hub

The Sustainability Hub received a significant revamp in time for the President's PLAN/NET ZERØ event on April 14. It's now a subsite that is much easier to navigate. The French content was also moved under Durabilité (in the French tree). All the pages were reviewed plus so much more, to enhance and improve the user experience. Credit for the project goes to the Sustainability team (Cassandra Lamontagne, Arrien Weeks and Christian Favreau), Chantal Bellemare, Robert Paul, Diane Leyland and Natalia Komova.
