Group CEO Roland Matt will also sit on the new Sustainability Council. «Sustainability has long been a core element of our action. For us, sustainability means harmonizing our economic activities with responsibility for society, the environment, and corporate governance», he states in the press release. «By joining the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, we are expressing how important it is to us to integrate environmental and social factors as well as good governance in our investment strategies», Matt concludes.
LLB has already been offering its clientele sustainable investment opportunities for years. In this context, it launched sustainable asset management mandates back in 2015.
