	Books are an important vector of promotion for best practices in corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. That’s why Catalethique offers to its members to meet on a regular basis to talk about a book they like. The members jointly choose a new book each 2 to 4 months. Those meetings offer an opportunity to share experiences and points of view in a cordial and informal atmosphere. They take place in downtown Montreal , after office hours. Food and drink is sometimes served during the discussion. The course of the discussion is bilingual as well as the choice of the books. The author or someone related to the subject of the book may be invited. Book Club Coordinator: Olivier Sinquin Please confirm your presence at: clv@catalethique.org ____________________________________________ .
