ESG Client Information
With the increasing importance of the topic of sustainability, it is a key concern for us as a private bank to fulfill our social and environmental responsibility and to advocate sustainable development.
Based on the implementation of the new EU regulatory requirements, we have been offering you the opportunity to indicate your sustainability preferences since August 2, 2022.
In order to take into account the sustainability preferences in the context of investment advice or asset management, we ask you to provide us with your sustainability preferences no later than before the provision of your next investment advice or the recommendation of a new asset management solution.
In the ESG client information material, you will find an introduction to the topic sustainability as well as information on how we adapted our advisory process.
