Sustainability at Sarasin

Bank Sarasin is convinced that the long-term prosperity of its clients represents the best basis for the consistency of its own success. To this end, its business activity is based on holistic thinking and action.

 

Responsibility for climate and the environment

For some years now Sarasin has implemented a consistent environmental management system in an effort to steadily reduce its resource consumption and CO2 emissions wherever possible. The Sarasin Group has been carbon neutral since 2008.

Expertise and experience in sustainable investment

Sarasin is since 20 years not only a pioneer in this field, but is also market leader among providers of sustainable investment products in Switzerland, with a market share of 27% at the end of 2010.

 

Strong track record in sustainability

Our tradition of a sustainable corporate culture, our many years of experience in sustainable investments and our efforts to continuously improve in all aspects of sustainability have been widely recognised: the Financial Times (FT) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, have named Bank Sarasin the "Cross-Regional Sustainable Bank of the Year 2011".
