The Desjardins Group Pension Plan (DGPP) is releasing the second edition of its
Climate Report.
This report builds on the first edition published in 2025 and reflects the ongoing evolution of the Plan’s responsible investment practices.
Structured around four components—governance, strategy, climate risk management, and metrics and targets—the report outlines the mechanisms in place to assess and monitor climate-related risks that may affect the Plan’s performance, as well as the results achieved in 2025 in relation to its established climate commitments.
It highlights, in particular:
• the main physical and transition risks analyzed by the Plan;
• the approaches used to assess portfolio resilience, including climate scenario analysis;
• the integration of climate considerations at various stages of the investment lifecycle.
The report also provides an update on emissions monitoring. In this regard, the DGPP continues to pursue its objective of reducing the carbon intensity of its public equities and corporate bond portfolios by 50% by the end of 2030, relative to a 2020 baseline year. It also includes, for the first time, the absolute greenhouse gas emissions associated with these portfolios, complementing carbon intensity indicators.
With the publication of this second edition, the DGPP continues its efforts to enhance the quality of its disclosures and to evolve its practices, in line with data availability and developments in climate-related reporting.
