We've invented a green savings vehicle that protects the environment
The Fonds chooses to make green investments that reflect its full and concrete commitment to the future of Quebec and its citizens. That's what being positively invested means.
Being green means making the right choices and taking action. Caring for the environment is more than a philosophy, it's a way of being and acting.
At the Fonds, we offer ecological savings vehicles that take into account protecting lands, fighting climate change and reducing greenhouse gases. Together, we believe it's time to make an eco-responsible shift that includes choosing to make green investments.
It's up to each and every one of us to define what this shift should be like and how we should aim to make change happen. However, it will take all of us working collectively, through our choices and actions, to become greener and ensure the well-being of our planet. Because every little thing we do matters, and it's by working together that we can succeed.
Saving green. For real.
The Fonds is committed to a just energy transition. Here are two concrete examples of how.
Saving with the Fonds enabled the purchase of 200,000 hectares of woodlands, which will help in the fight against climate change.
The Fonds will not finance any oil exploration or production projects in Québec.
