Why improved ESG reporting?
Sustainability is not just a trend, but an essential component of a future-oriented investment strategy. Investors are increasingly demanding detailed and reliable ESG data in order to make informed decisions. Our new ESG reporting provides comprehensive insights into the environmental, social and governance aspects of our investments and is based on proven Swiss standards.
The increasing regulatory requirements in the area of ESG show that sustainable financial investments are becoming more and more important. Investors, especially institutional investors such as pension funds, are increasingly keen to include ESG criteria in their investment decisions. Our improved ESG reporting takes this into account and helps investors to consistently pursue their sustainability goals.
Swiss Climate Scores: orientation for climate-conscious investments
The Swiss Climate Scores were launched by the Swiss government to create transparency regarding the climate compatibility of financial investments. Among other things, they show the extent to which portfolios are compatible with the Paris climate target and how companies perform in terms of reducing emissions. By integrating these scores into our reporting, we enable our investors to better understand the carbon footprint of their investments and to make targeted sustainable decisions.
Specifically, the Swiss Climate Scores include various criteria, including the temperature compatibility of the plants, the proportion of companies with net-zero targets and the handling of fossil fuels. These factors provide investors with an objective basis for decision-making and support them in pursuing climate-friendly investment strategies.
ASIP ESG Reporting: Proven standard for institutional investors
The ESG reporting of the ASIP (Swiss Pension Fund Association) offers a uniform basis for pension funds to systematically integrate ESG criteria into their investment decisions. OLZ uses this established standard to ensure that our reporting meets institutional requirements and that our clients receive the relevant ESG information in a clearly structured form.
This standardized ESG approach not only enables better comparability between different investment funds, but also an objective assessment of sustainability performance. Pension funds and institutional investors benefit from a clear, comprehensible framework that helps them to make sustainable investment decisions in the long term.
Our ESG philosophy at OLZ
At OLZ, we rely on a scientifically sound, risk-oriented investment approach. For us, sustainability is an integral part of portfolio optimization. Our ESG reporting now provides an even more solid basis for making sustainable decisions and directing capital into future-oriented companies.
Our approach is based on three central pillars:
Transparency: We ensure that our investors receive all the relevant ESG information they need to make informed decisions.
Comparability: Alignment with the Swiss Climate Scores and the ASIP ESG reporting enables investors to compare our funds with other investment products.
Long-term sustainability: We focus on companies that pursue sustainable business models and are actively committed to a climate-friendly future.
A look into the future
The extended ESG reporting is an important step in offering our investors even more transparency and orientation. We remain committed to continuously developing our sustainability strategy and integrating new ESG initiatives into our investment processes. Our goal is not only to meet current regulatory requirements, but also to offer sustainable investment solutions that contribute to the positive development of the economy and society in the long term.
The importance of ESG criteria will continue to grow in the coming years, and OLZ is committed to actively shaping this change. We invite all our investors and interested parties to familiarize themselves with our new ESG reporting and to join us in shaping a sustainable future.
