• what we mean by responsible investing and what you need to bear in mind. We explain our investment process and important terms such as ESG, engagement and impact investing. Yes, sustainability can also generate returns - the good thing is that sustainable investing has an impact, because the more investors pay attention to whether companies or countries invest in an ecologically, economically and socially responsible manner, the greater the impact.

• For us as an investment company, structured engagement with forward-looking issues is undoubtedly an important part of our work. For example, climate change and the resulting need for an energy transition are probably among the most pressing issues of our time. Enormous investments in new technologies, infrastructure, etc. are needed for the energy transition to work.

• In the information magazine INVESTMENT ZUKUNFT, we take a detailed look at relevant key topics and provide interesting insights and background information.

• Transparency is very important to us, which is why we regularly publish publications and reports. Under Policies & Reports, for example, you will find our engagement report, carbon footprint report, sustainability policies, impact reports, etc.
