Sustainable investing
Align your investment with your values.
Our APPROACH
Sustainability has become an increasingly important topic for investors. By including ESG criteria in our investment approach, we can help our clients increase their long-term wealth prospects, mitigate risk and address pressing global challenges.
1. Exclusion criteria
We exclude companies involved in the production or distribution of controversial weapons, those that breach UN Global Compact principles, those engaged in thermal coal activities, and companies significantly tied to the tobacco industry.
2. Clear standards
We define and categorise sustainable investments based on the European Union’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). Setting clear metrics allows us to understand how our investments directly contribute to the environmental and social goals set out in the latest European ESG frameworks.
3. Securities selection
In addition to exclusion & SFDR criteria, we further select stocks, bonds and funds according to their ESG characteristics. Based on the client’s sustainability preferences, we build a portfolio with varying ESG investment allocations.
4. Proxy voting
We also play a proactive role in the companies we invest in by exercising our shareholding rights. Voting on resolutions and management teams that encourage and promote sustainable practices allows us to take concrete, measurable action in line with environmental and social goals. To find out more you can read our proxy voting report.
