In 2010, more than 260 videoconferences were held at the Caisse, which enabled us to cut down on travel and fuel use equivalent to a distance of 1,150,000 km.

Each year, the Caisse recycles or reuses hundreds of telephones, computer and electronic equipment, office furniture and printer cartridges.

In addition to paper, cardboard and electronic equipment, the Caisse also recovers batteries, metal, plastic and even coffee grounds produced each day in some 24 coffee machines at Centre CDP Capital.

The Centre CDP Capital team uses seepage water from the parking lot (untreated water) to wash the sidewalks, water the plants on the terraces and wash the cars in the parking lot.

In 2004, the Caisse was the first institution in Canada to adopt a responsible investment policy.

The Caisse has contributed to the implementation of the master's program in financial engineering, offered by the École de technologie supérieure since fall 2011. Its involvment reflects its intent to contribute to the development of Québec's investment expertise.

The Caisse was part of the first wave of institutional investors to endorse the United Nations (UN) Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). To date, more than 800 investors, managers, and experts have endorsed the principles for responsible investment.

The Caisse employs one of the largest fund management teams in Canada and all of North America. Its employees, 77.2% of whom were university graduates, practice more than 40 different professions.
