Welcome to Desjardins

Monique F. Leroux, President and CEO

As the largest integrated cooperative financial group in Canada, Desjardins Group is a vast network of financial services cooperatives in Quebec and Ontario as well as approximately 20 subsidiaries, several of which operate across the country.

Desjardins is built on human capital that includes 40,000 employees and some 6,500 elected caisse officers. Our very existence and success depend more than anything else on their skill and commitment, so we don't cut any corners when it comes to offering them a stimulating professional environment and an enjoyable and respectful workplace. We have set up many programs that promote health and well-being, and encourage ongoing skills development.

With deep roots in the community and a mission to serve, Desjardins Group works with groups to achieve their goals and actively helps them meet challenges along the way. As long ago as the late 80s, we adopted various financial measures and tools that help protect the environment. In 2005, we took this commitment even further and adopted a sustainable development policy that guides our decisions and actions so we always respect the crucial balance between the economy, society and the environment.

Desjardins is not only the largest private employer in Quebec, it is also a key player whose efforts generate enduring benefits.
