Stewardship and Sustainable Investment

In 2022 we recognised that our three sustainable focus themes – climate change and biodiversity, living better for longer and a smart and circular economy - need to contribute to the three most important transitions of our age: energy, food and materials. These transitions can mitigate the threat that is posed to our planet as a result of our production and consumption behaviours today.

We seek to act as stewards, by helping our clients allocate their capital to organisations and companies that are part of the transitions, recognizing the winners and losers of the future in a timely manner.

Our themes, objectives and how to get there

‘Worldwide, we are being confronted with the facts: climate change is threatening the viability of our planet. In order to survive, we will soon have to be producing and consuming differently. As a socially engaged wealth manager, we have the ability and the desire to contribute to the transition to a more sustainable economy. How our clients’ assets are invested is critically important in this regard. We see it as our primary mission to help our clients navigate through the inevitable transitions of our time.'
