80 colleagues. 3 sites. Powered by the same energy. ⚡ Over the past few weeks, Hitachi Energy teams in Saint-Laurent, Varennes, and Québec came together for Défi Entreprises — creating a shared moment focused on well-being and connection. 📍 A first participation for Saint-Laurent and Varennes on May 23 📍 A 4th consecutive year for our Québec teams on June 6 Beyond the numbers, what we’ll remember most is the shared drive to get moving, challenge ourselves, step away from our routines, and strengthen our team spirit. Across the event, people moved in different ways—running, walking, practicing yoga—but were all connected, cheering each other on. As a Gold sponsor, we are proud to support an initiative that reflects our commitment to well-being and community, in support of United Way Centraide Canada. 💙
