How cooperatives work

At Desjardins Group, our goal is to be everyone’s #1 choice. Thanks to our varied distribution channels, numerous intermediary networks and personnel who strive to deliver the highest quality of service, we are able to stay close to our members and their communities.

In order to best meet members’ increasingly diverse needs, Desjardins pays special attention to the caisse network and its range of service delivery methods. We are also committed to ensuring vitality at the caisse level in terms of cooperative and democratic life, representation, education and training, cooperation with other cooperatives and support for community development.
