Connecting with our communities

For Premier Tech, being committed to the communities in which we operate means identifying opportunities and genuine ways of amplifying our support and impact.

This is why we are dedicated to contributing to keeping our communities dynamic and vibrant through initiatives in health, sport and education — all areas that fully align with who we are and what we stand for.

To expand the reach of its impact, Premier Tech also implements initiatives to foster team members engagement and the importance of giving back. By promoting a caring culture and actively participating in causes team members value, we collectively contribute to the social and economic continuity of communities.

This is how Premier Tech partnered with Nooé, a Québec non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the average donation in the province by encouraging companies and their people to support causes meaningful to them.

Donations are collected through a free and user-friendly mobile platform, created by Premier Tech Digital — Mirego featuring over 3 000 registered Québec organizations. For Nooé, companies should act as community keystones.

“We have a great social safety net in Québec and we want to support it, while giving people the opportunity to experience the pride of giving as a team. Nooé can bridge the gap between a company and organizations, making donations more accessible. By mobilizing their teams, companies can have a real impact on Québec organizations, and mostly on those who benefit from them and, consequently, on our entire community,” says Florence Petit-Gagnon, co-founder of Nooé.

Engaging donation campaigns

This partnership with Nooé came naturally as soon as the project was thought of by its founders. Supporting forward-looking initiatives that bring people together and whose mission aligns with its promise of making a difference is important for Premier Tech.

Team members had the opportunity to use Nooé for the 2023 end-of-year fundraiser , a tradition that has been growing since its beginnings in 1997. Last December, team members across our home bases in Québec were invited to support families and people experiencing food insecurity.

The Nooé platform facilitated generosity and enabled team members to see the amounts donated to selected organizations grow in real time. In total, nearly $30 000 was raised to help those in need.

Last May, Premier Tech launched a generosity movement to encourage team members to give to causes of their choice, empowering them to make a positive impact on their communities. As part of this movement, Premier Tech invited team members across Québec to donate to organizations registered on the Nooé platform. Premier Tech then matched the donations of team members to support them.

During this first annual donation campaign, the generosity of team members, supported by Premier Tech, extended to nearly 55 organizations — distributed across 10 regions of Québec — active in more than 15 fields of action including health; children youth and family; mental health and addictions; international development and environment.
