Responsibility
Doing well by doing good
Our responsibility
As a member of the United Nations (UN), Switzerland has committed to implementing the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. With the ratification of the Paris Climate Accords (Paris Agreement) in 2017, Switzerland has also pledged to achieve the targets of that Agreement, which include a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero emissions by 2050. The financial sector, and particularly private-sector investments, can play a central role in achieving these national and global climate goals.
Responsible investment as the basis of our success
At Patrimonium, we recognise the pivotal role that asset managers can play in fostering positive change, and acknowledge our responsibility to contribute to a more sustainable economy, society, and environment. As ESG factors gain importance among our investors and stakeholders, who increasingly prioritize sustainability, our commitment to responsible investment remains clear in our approach.
Our approach to sustainability entails:
- Identifying the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) topics that are material to our business;
- Defining internal responsibilities and setting guidelines enabling us to align our actions with the identified topics;
- Striving to incorporate ESG considerations into our daily activities, and especially into our investment activities;
- Proactively driving forward and helping to shape new initiatives wherever possible.
