Working Towards a Sustainable Environment
Facing environmental issues for a better future
To ensure that the entertainment industry we are part of continues into the future, we also must contribute to building a better society. At USJ, there is an interdepartmental team whose mission is to confront environmental issues and to implement various initiatives that make the most of the strengths of each department.
Spreading the circle of action across society
It is paramount for businesses like ours, which are in close contact with consumers, to take a proactive lead in protecting the environment, raise awareness, and hasten a decrease of our impact on the environment. USJ will continue to work to build a sustainable park so that we can continue to make all of our guests Super Energized.

Battling the Heat Island Effect by Painting Attraction Roofing with a Thermal Barrier Coating

By reducing the heat that builds up within the building and the burden on the building’s air conditioning system, guests are spending an even more comfortable time there. This also contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gases the park produces.
