Responsible Investment

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​At the Desjardins Group Pension Plan (DGPP), responsible investment (RI) is a source of added value. 

As a long-term investor, DGPP believes that effective management of ESG risks and opportunities can positively influence the financial performance of its investments while having a concrete and positive socioeconomic impact on communities. This approach aligns with the cooperative mission of the Mouvement Desjardins, combining financial performance with social responsibility. 
Supported by strong governance, a targeted influence strategy, and cross-functional team mobilization, the implementation of RI allows DGPP to navigate systemic risks while identifying new investment opportunities that are meaningful and create long-term value.
