Reason for membership with SSF
Vontobel has, for generations, been committed to operating and investing in an ethical and far-sighted manner. Since the 1990s, we have offered an extensive range of sustainable investment solutions and are one of the pioneers in this investment theme. Vontobel has been a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) since 2010 and promotes sustainability in the finance industry through its active membership with various organizations. We are convinced that sustainable finance can become an important pillar of the Swiss Financial Centre and we see SSF as an important actor to foster a further integration of ESG in all aspects of finance.
