Desjardins

To contribute to improving the economic and social well-being of people and communities within the compatible limits of its field of activity:

by continually developing an integrated cooperative network of secure and profitable financial services, owned and administered by the members, as well as a network of complementary financial organizations with competitive returns, controlled by the members
by educating people, particularly members, officers and employees, about democracy, economics, solidarity, and individual and collective responsibility.

As an International Co-operative Alliance member, Desjardins shares the same ideals as thousands of cooperatives around the world. These ideals are expressed through a set of values that have defined the cooperative identity from the very start. At Desjardins, we view money as a tool to support the autonomy and development of people and communities. Everything we do is for our members and clients. At Desjardins, we are actively involved in communities' socioeconomic development in order to share wealth and support sustainable prosperity. Desjardins's commitment to individuals and communities is based on kindness and mutual assistance.
