Cooperative objectives

As a financial services cooperative, your Desjardins caisse has objectives that make it very different from other financial institutions.

• Providing, in the best possible conditions, the financial advice and services that members need.
• Contributing to the cooperative, economic and financial education of members, that is to provide them with a way to achieve independence.
• Promoting and supporting community development.

Profitability for a different purpose

Every enterprise has to turn a profit and Desjardins Group also has to follow market prices and conditions. However, the caisses always use their profits to better serve their members, and not for the good of a select few shareholders. Desjardins Group seeks to foster human development and help people improve their quality of life.
