Sustainable Development
Our vision for a sustainable future
As a cooperative, we naturally advocate for a more sustainable and inclusive economy. Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives reflect that vision, as do our responsible finance products and services.
Our commitment to responsible finance
We strive to incorporate ESG principles into all our business operations to foster sustainable growth. We support companies that do the same, and we lead by example through our initiatives.
Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions
By 2030, we're aiming to reduce our GHG emissions by 50% compared to our 2020 levels.
Our social engagement
We endorse community initiatives that benefit our members and clients and that are in line with our cooperative values.
Together For Our Youth
Through our program, we support hundreds of thousands of young Canadians.
Co-op Week
Co-op Week aims to shine a spotlight on the mission and values that inspire cooperatives.
Impact investing and the Aequitas Fund
Through the Aequitas Fund, we strive to advance gender equality, combat climate change and support other United Nationals Sustainable Development Goals.
Our governance initiatives
We've signed several internationally recognized responsible finance commitments. Our ESG strategy is in line with our sustainable development policy, among others.
The Paris Agreement
We're working to reduce our GHG emissions in accordance with the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit the global temperature rise to less than 2°C.
