COOP Sens Climat

What COOP Sens Climat does

COOP Sens Climat is a Montreal-based producer cooperative (coopérative de producteurs) that delivers climate and sustainability awareness workshops primarily in Quebec, Canada. Founded in 2022, it operates as a local affiliate within the global Fresque du Climat movement, which reports more than 2.5 million participants worldwide. The cooperative has conducted over 300 workshops reaching more than 30,000 participants in Quebec, with sessions delivered bilingually in French and English to groups of up to 100 participants. Its named customers include the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), Hydro-Québec, and LeaderZone, indicating a B2B/B2G focus across financial services, energy/utilities, and professional services.

The core product is the licensed Fresque du Climat workshop, a facilitated, collaborative card-based serious game. The portfolio has expanded to include Fresque de l'Économie Circulaire, Fresque du Numérique, Fresque de la Biodiversité, and Atelier 2 Tonnes — each licensed from the relevant French originator association — as well as Municipia, a workshop format developed for municipal-government audiences. The cooperative remits approximately 10% of related revenue as licensing fees to the upstream rights holders. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is a service delivered by trained human facilitators using licensor-supplied content kits.

The business model is service-based: the cooperative sells facilitated workshops to enterprise, institutional, and public-sector clients on a custom-quote basis, with revenue shared between facilitator-members and the cooperative after licensing remittances. The organization operates with approximately 10 cooperative members and is governed by a board comprising a President (Camille Defoly), Vice-president (Benoît Waeckel), Treasurer (Vincent Essig), Secretary (Joffrey Clement), and additional administrators and members. No external funding events, revenue figures, or headcount growth signals are disclosed in the available data.
