Our approach to sustainability

EFG believes that sustainability is fundamentally about choosing the right path to balance economic, environmental and social interests. We are also convinced that responsible business conduct is essential to achieve sustainable and profitable growth and to create value for all our stakeholders. We strive to apply the highest standards of ethical conduct in every aspect of our work globally, which is crucial to achieve long-term success.

Our strategy is designed to integrate sustainability aspects and sustainability priorities into our business model and to meet client interest for sustainable finance. The strategy is based on two main pillars: our responsibility as an asset allocator on behalf of our clients and our responsibility as a firm.

As a global private banking group, we are committed to being a reliable and resilient financial partner to our clients, offering them superior service and advice as well as first-class investment, wealth and credit solutions. We aim to meet our clients’ individual needs and expectations – including those of the next generation. At the same time, as an asset allocator, we partner with our clients to direct assets towards transformative technologies and companies that support innovation and sustainable development. We do so by providing greater transparency around investment opportunities as well as by integrating ESG criteria and ESG-related risk considerations into our investment process and continuously expanding our ESG investment offering. In this way, we are supporting global efforts to realise the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

As a firm, we aim to be an employer of choice that attracts, develops and retains talented professionals. We are committed to providing an inclusive working environment in which all our employees are valued equally and can reach their full potential. As an integral part of society, we are committed to serving the interests of the communities in which we live and work and to helping protect the environment.
