Sustainability Spotlight Video J. Safra Sarasin Research
Bank J. Safra Sarasin has been recognised as a manager that has been at the forefront of sustainable investments for more than thirty years. We actively contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement but our efforts to tackle climate change go much further.
We contribute to sustainable development by developing a sustainability strategy based on five objectives that range from our corporate culture to our core investment offering. We also know that climate change can only be tackled in cooperation with our partners and other investors. Therefore, we joined and co-founded a number of sustainability initiatives that have become an ecosystem of associations and frameworks aiming towards achieving net zero.
