Desjardins Funds

Carbon intensity measures the quantity of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted by an organization in relation to its revenue (tons of CO2 equivalent/revenue). The GHG emissions considered are the organization’s direct emissions (scope 1), that is, those under its control (for example, emissions resulting from its industrial processes). Indirect GHG emissions resulting from the production and distribution of electricity, heat and steam (scope 2) are also taken into consideration. Carbon intensity can be used to evaluate organizations that stand out from their peers in terms of GHG emissions in their internal activities.
Estimated carbon intensity on December 31, 2022, of organizations that the Desjardins Sustainable Canadian Equity Income Fund invests in compared to companies in the benchmark, the S&P/TSX Composite Dividend Index.
A benchmark index is an indicator that measures the changes in a set of securities from issuers with shared characteristics. The index can assess the performance of a specific market and serves as a comparison with the changes in the performance of an investment fund.
