Sustainable Investment

"The future belongs to those able to provide creative answers to the challenges ahead."

Money is not neutral – everything depends on how you invest it. By opting for sustainable investment, you take a conscious decision to invest in companies, countries and institutions that respect the environment and look for social balance. This contributes both to sustainable development in general and to the portfolio’s long-term economic performance in particular.

Through our sustainable investment products, you make sure that your investment decisions will help to build a financial, ecological and social future that is sustainable in the long run. Since 1989 Sarasin Sustainable Investment has been offering investment products that meet standards regarding sustainability without any compromise on financial performance.

Financially rewarding

Sustainable investment not only makes sense from a social and ecological perspective, but is financially rewarding as well. Sustainable investments promise more consistent returns, especially for investors with long-term horizons, by avoiding the risks associated with a conventional “unsustainable” approach to investment.

    

“Sustainable investment has nothing to do with sponsoring. It is in fact a financially astute way of achieving attractive returns over the long run.”

Andreas Knoerzer, Head Sarasin Sustainable Investment
