What Desjardins is doing for sustainable development

Did you know that in addition to supporting regional development, providing entrepreneurs with financial support, supporting parents in the adoption process, helping developing countries and fighting school dropout rate, Desjardins also works diligently to support sustainable development?

In fact, Desjardins is the first organization to join forces with Équiterre for the "Change the world, one step at a time!" program through:

• The offer of investment products that support businesses that are carefully selected for their position on social and environmental responsibility.
• The Eco-friendly Statement Challenge, which encourages members to replace their printed statements of account with online statements and which has resulted in the planting of 115,000 trees.
• A partnership with Bell to recycle used cell phones.
• A list of 12 corporate actions for organizations.
• A commitment to certain environmental protection agencies.
• 2 research grants to reward the commitment of 2 postgraduate university students studying the environment or sustainable development.
