description This article analyzes the relationship between the promotion of sustainable development skills with: i) the characteristics of the organizations and ii) the promotion of a sustainable development approach. Based on a questionnaire survey conducted in 2016 with 560 respondents from Quebec organizations, we asked them about their commitment to sustainable development principles and their opinions regarding the promotion of sustainable development skills. Our analysis characterizes the organizations involved in sustainable development approach and highlights the links between the sustainable development approach and the promotion of those skills. Our results are twofold. First, in terms of characterization, organizations involved in the primary sector, large-scale organizations as well as those belonging to the public domain show a greater propensity to engage in a sustainable development approach. According to respondents, this often leads to a high recognition of the employability of sustainable development skills. Second, the commitment to a sustainable development approach partly explains the emphasize on employee skills, whether in terms of general interest, in-house training or academic formations. Given these results, we suggest that the legislative context could help to stimulate the commitment to a sustainable development approach, while the commercial role of organizations would appear to hinder it, despite the competitive opportunities that such an approach may offer.
