As part of its governance, the Quebec Wood Export Bureau (QWEB) has recently implemented an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Action Plan. Through its involvement, QWEB sees this as a way to ensure respect and representation of designated groups – such as Aboriginal people, women, visible minorities, people with disabilities or marginalized people of all origins, races, cultures and religions. QWEB is a non-profit organization created in 1996 whose mission is to develop export markets for wood products from Quebec, ensure access to these products on the market and promote the use of wood in all markets as regional, provincial and national. QWEB has about 125 export companies in five different groups: softwood lumber and value-added softwood; hardwood lumber and added value hardwood; wood flooring; wood construction; and wood pellets.
