After three years of efforts and concrete actions, we are proud to announce that we have achieved all our objectives for 2025 and will continue to pursue these efforts for the future.<\/p>\n<p>Climate change has been one of the ongoing drivers of our sustainable investment actions to date. On the eve of the 28<sup>th<\/sup> Conference of the Parties (COP 28) on climate change, we reiterate that the transition to an economy aligned with the Paris Agreement objectives requires a multidimensional approach. To that end, in 2020, we unveiled an ambitious climate commitment whose aim was to progressively reduce our climate risk exposure by 50%, invest in the transition, target our shareholder engagement and collaborate with our partners.<\/p>\n<p>The commitment\u2019s objectives have now been reached:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We reduced greenhouse gas emissions attributable to the equity portfolios of B\u00e2tirente Funds by 50% compared with their 2018 carbon footprint.<\/li>\n<li>We tripled our impact investing, from $75M in 2018 to $225M in 2023.<\/li>\n<li>Through our partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aequo.ca\/\">\u00c6quo, Shareholder Engagement Services,<\/a> we have carried out dialogues with the companies in which we invest. For example, in 2022, 45 objectives were met, 73%\u00a0 of which directly related to our climate commitment.<\/li>\n<li>We contribute to numerous initiatives to emphasize their collective impact. Among other things, we are a founding member of <a href=\"https:\/\/climateengagement.ca\/en\/\">Climate Engagement Canada (CEC)<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cFaced with this climate crisis, we are pleased to be able to contribute by going beyond our commitments. Clearly, we will continue to forge ahead and take concrete action that ensures we are part of the solution, in the best interest of our members, future generations and the planet. Responsible investment has always been at the heart of B\u00e2tirente\u2019s values and actions, and it\u2019s part of our DNA,\u201d said B\u00e2tirente CEO \u00c9ric Filion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About B\u00e2tirente<br \/>\n<\/strong>B\u00e2tirente is a group retirement system created in 1987 at the initiative of the CSN.
