Le Canada a perdu 22 sièges sociaux d'entreprises entre 2010 et 2011, selon Statistique Canada, le nombre total étant passé de 2865 à 2843.

 

La perte a été ressentie également dans les quatre provinces qui comptent le plus de sièges sociaux soit, dans l'ordre, l'Ontario (-40%), le Québec (-20,3%), l'Alberta (-14,2%) et la Colombie-Britannique (-11,5%).

 

La répartition du recul a fait en sorte que la proportion de sièges sociaux que compte chaque province est demeuré inchangé.

 

En chiffres absolus, le Québec a perdu quatre sièges sociaux entre 2010 et 2011, l'Ontario neuf, l'Alberta sept et la Colombie-Britannique deux. En contrepartie, les sièges sociaux qui restent semblent avoir une certaine vigueur puisque le nombre total d'employés de sièges sociaux s'est légèrement accru dans toutes les provinces, sauf l'Ontario.

 

Plus de la moitié des sièges sociaux canadiens étaient liés à des entreprises oeuvrant dans trois secteurs, soit le commerce de détail (20,2%), la fabrication (18,6%) et le commerce de gros (13,1%).

 

Sans surprise, l'Alberta regroupe 85,3 pour cent des sièges sociaux liés au secteur du pétrole, surtout à Calgary.

Note to readers

 

"Head office industry" includes all entities, including Crown corporation entities, whose main business activity is to provide management or administrative support services to other entities of the same enterprise. Their activities include functions, such as strategic organizational planning, communications, tax planning, legal services, marketing, finance, human resource management, and information technology services.

 

For this release, an enterprise may have more than one head office; however, only one of them may be considered the main head office. The others are considered secondary head offices. If an enterprise has only one head office, then that head office is the main head office.

 

The list of the top 500 enterprises is compiled according to the enterprises' total revenue for each reference year. Since total revenue changes each year, the list may vary.

 

The number of employees is the average number of people employed at a head office during the reporting period. It includes full-time, part-time and temporary employees and employees absent with pay.

 

The industry sector and total revenue of the enterprise to which a head office belongs are determined from the enterprise structure recorded in the Business Register.
