The interest in sustainable investments is growing continuously. Like foundations and churches, private clients more and more intend to invest sustainably and expect ethically correct and environmentally friendly behavior of companies in which they invest.
Commerzbank offers a sustainable asset management to those customers from a starting volume of 250,000 euro. In addition to traditional investment criteria such as return, risk and liquidity, especially social, ethical and ecological aspects of the companies in which people can invest are taken into account at the sustainable asset management. In this respect, Commerzbank insists on the compliance with objective sustainability criteria. Commerzbank cooperates with the rating agency MSCI ESG.
On the equity side, the sustainable asset management exclusively invests in individual values with a high sustainability rating. Apart from that, companies in the fields of nuclear energy, armament, gambling or tobacco as well as companies that are associated with controversial business practices are excluded from the investable universe. The practices inter alia include child labor, human rights abuses, violations of labor law or animal testing.
The asset management company is involved in the non-profit Bergwaldprojekts e.V. Current details can be found here (German only): www.commerzbank.de/wirpflanzenwerte
