Desjardins General Insurance - Proud Partner of Climate Reality Project Canada
Desjardins General Insurance is a proud supporter of The Climate Reality Project Canada. This organization is supported by the David Suzuki Foundation and Al Gore (joint winner of the Nobel Peace Prize with the IPCC). Its mission is to raise awareness among all Canadians about the urgency of the climate crisis through conferences, training and more.
As part of our commitment to sustainable development, we want to make as many people as possible aware of the importance of taking preventive action and adopting greener habits to reduce the impacts of climate change.

Fortunately, we can all do something to reduce our carbon footprint:
- The Climate Reality Project Canada offers several practical solutions at home, at work and in the community
- Desjardins is also doing its part for sustainable development, promoting a greener, more equitable world
- Plus, we offer auto and home insurance products and services that reward environmentally-friendly behaviour
