After more than 25 years as the Chief Executive Officer of Bâtirente, Daniel Simard has confirmed to its Board of Directors his intention to retire. Éric Filion, Chief Operating Officer for the organization, has been appointed to take over as CEO.
Today, Bâtirente held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) branded by the slogan “My retirement. Our strength” and presented a positive assessment of its 2020 activities to about 80 group representatives and partners who all attended virtually. Participants had the opportunity to learn that, while Bâtirente excelled in the quality of support provided to groups and members during this difficult period, the organization also kept a firm and steady focus on the future.
Did you know that since 1970, April 22nd is Earth Day? As a committed and responsible organization, Bâtirente has been deploying its efforts with conviction in favour of responsible finance for over 15 years. Climate change is certainly one of the ongoing drivers that have guided our course of action in sustainable investing.
Bâtirente announced today that its Board of Directors has elected Yvan Duceppe, Treasurer of the Confédération des syndicaux nationaux (CSN), as its Chair. Mr. Duceppe succeeds Pierre Patry, former Treasurer of the CSN, now retired, who chaired Bâtirente’s Board of Directors for 17 years.
Responding to the urgent need to take action, Bâtirente is today unveiling an ambitious climate commitment. For more than 15 years, Bâtirente has worked with intensity and conviction to promote responsible finance, establishing itself as a well-known and respected industry leader. More than ever, there is consensus on the link between human activities and global warming, on the influence of global warming on the economy and investment, and on the need for a focused response.
