– License agreement will accelerate progress towards 1000 BDO Zones across North America –
Ecostrat Inc., and the BDO Zone Initiative are pleased to announce the expansion of BDO Zone Ratings into Québec with the inaugural licensing agreement with Forair. William Métivier, President of Forair, will spearhead the expansion as Ecostrat’s Regional Project Director for Quebéc, Canada, from the new office in Québec City.
William Métivier is a distinguished forestry engineer with specialized proficiency in analyzing forest biomass supply chains. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Forest Management and Environment from Laval University, his bilingual fluency uniquely positions him to bridge communication gaps within Québec's biomass industry and foster engagement across diverse linguistic communities. Throughout his career, William has cultivated a formidable reputation, serving an extensive clientele ranging from large-scale sawmills to First Nations communities, forest associations, and bioenergy organizations.
Jordan Solomon, President of Ecostrat and Chairman of the BDO Zone Initiative, stated, “We are thrilled to have executed this first license agreement with Forair, marking the initial phase of our global expansion strategy for BDO Zones. We expect this to be the first agreement of many, nationally and internationally- - all with the goal of catalyzing scale-up of the global bioeconomy. William adds significant value to our team; his reputation and nuanced understanding of Québec's intricate forest biomass supply chains will be pivotal in augmenting our growth and impact within the region.”
William Métivier, President of Forair said, “This agreement with Ecostrat presents a compelling opportunity to leverage our expertise and knowledge in a meaningful capacity. Quebec is rich in forest biomass, a resource with vast potential if managed effectively. Given the burgeoning bioenergy sector, now is an opportune time to offer customized services to businesses and communities, assisting them in navigating this emerging business landscape. We are eager to support Ecostrat's mission and aid in fortifying the company's presence in Quebec."
