Privacy policy Always allow videos Sustainable investment products: our selection criteria for sustainable portfolio management We invest exclusively in instruments that meet our high standards for sustainability. To achieve this, we apply strict sustainability criteria when selecting investment instruments. These are reflected in the five key features of the "Focus Sustainability" portfolio management mandate: 1. Exclusions Our LGT portfolio managers consistently apply exclusion criteria for companies and countries for our sustainable portfolio management mandates. When selecting countries, for example, we exclude countries that severely disregard human rights. Sustainable portfolio management also excludes controversial weapons and coal, a principle that applies throughout LGT. 2. ESG integration and LGT sustainability rating The ESG criteria (environment, social and governance) are used to assess the sustainability of companies and countries. LGT's portfolio managers invest in instruments with an LGT sustainability rating of four or five stars, i.e. exclusively in instruments that have an above-average sustainability score in their respective segment. 3. Environmental footprint Our portfolio managers exclusively choose shares of companies that have a smaller environmental footprint than their competitors. In doing so, they consider greenhouse gas emissions, water and energy consumption and waste generation. 4. Sustainability topics Our portfolio managers add a targeted selection of sustainable themed investments to the portfolio that contribute toward resolving global challenges such as water scarcity. This is mainly achieved by investing in funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). 5. Impact assessment Unsere Portfoliomanager nehmen in der Regel nur Unternehmen auf, die einen positiven Gesamtbeitrag zu den United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). The risk profiles of your sustainable investment strategy Depending on your risk tolerance, we offer four investment profiles: Equities Fixed Income Liquidity Conservative Balanced Growth Equities Disclaimer: LGT investment solutions and funds open up new opportunities, but also involve risks.
