Navigating through transitions

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. Our primary mission is to help our clients navigate through the inevitable changes and to allocate their capital to organisations and companies that are part of the transitions where we believe we can make the biggest difference.

1. We are committed to become a Net Zero wealth manager by 2050, with an intermediate target of at least 50% CO₂ reduction by 2030 (base year 2019). 

2. We strive to reduce the carbon footprint for discretionary AuM by -7% annually. In addition, to demonstrate our commitment to the Net Zero goals, we have set a -8% annual emission reduction target for our own organisation.

3. We aim to (re)allocate our clients’ assets towards the opportunities presented by the transitions. This is done through our in-house funds as well as externally managed funds. 

4. Our focus themes are: climate, biodiversity and diversity & inclusion.

5. We recognise that these three themes need to contribute to the most important transitions of our age like the energy transition and the food transition. Acting on these transitions also involves considering the other major transitions that are closely aligned.
