SUSTAINABILITY
& ESG POLICY

Chartered Investment sees itself as a socially responsible company ("good corporate citizen"). Based on this self-image, we consistently pursue the global goals of sustainable development of the economy and society.

Hereby, we unconditionally tie in with sustainability as one of the most important topics on the global political agenda: starting with the first landmark agreements in 2015 (UN Sustainable Development Summit and Paris Agreement), the European package of measures, starting from the report of the High-Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance in December 2016 to the European Commission's Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth in March 2018 to the regulatory package SFDR and Taxonomy Regulation and their consequences, provided a comprehensive framework for a more sustainable financial system.

Sustainability in its environmental, social and good governance manifestations is an integral part of Chartered Investment's philosophy. Chartered Investment's holistic management of sustainability is built on two pillars:

Corporate Sustainability: with regard to our Group, we have set ourselves sustainability goals that are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have implemented this self-image to ourselves as well as our clients and transaction parties as a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment.
