Responsible and sustainable investments

The basis of the Sarasin Group's success is also founded on its sustainable investment strategy and its solid, sustainable know-how gleaned from over twenty years of experience. Sarasin responded promptly – ahead of other banks – to the need for greater transparency, as well as comprehensive and proactive management of risks and opportunities.

In order to expand its leading role, the decision was taken by management in early 2011 to gear the investment strategy of Bank Sarasin even more strongly towards sustainability.

In addition to sustainable products, Bank Sarasin now offers responsibly managed solutions.

In sustainable asset management, the investment instruments are subject to a stringent assessment based on sustainability criteria in addition to the financial analysis.
