Desjardins Sustainable Portfolios: responsible investing made easy!


  1. It has a positive impact because it matters.

    Desjardins Sustainable Portfolios are a unique and innovative solution with a strategy based on rigorous integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria :

    • Environment

      For example: greenhouse gas emissions, climate change.

    • Social

      For example: working conditions, community impact management.

    • Governance

      For example: executive compensation, diversity on boards of directors.

    ESG integration complements financial analysis to better understand a company's strategy, value, risk exposure, and ability to capture business opportunities and create long-term value.

  2. Shareholder engagement is a driver of change.

    Desjardins and its portfolio managers engage with select issuers to improve their ESG practices.

  3. A turnkey solution because your days are full.

    Investing intelligently doesn’t have to be complicated. Our professionally designed portfolios are rebalanced automatically and easily—deposits, withdrawals and systematic investments are simplified.

  4. Global diversification to limit risk.

    Investor money works all over the world. Take advantage of opportunities in Canadian, U.S., international, and emerging equities and bonds, with a mix of growth and income.
