Synergie Économique Laurentides

Synergie Économique Laurentides (SEL) is a non-profit organization created through the combined efforts of the SADC des Laurentides, the SADC d’Antoine-Labelle and the CAE Rive-Nord. Its mission is to offer its corporate, institutional and municipal Laurentian clientele a development model based on the principles of circular economy in order to make them more competitive in reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions. The creation of this kind of dynamic exchange network really pays off.
