CSR is built into our mission

A CSR strategy with clear targets

Targets:

Protecting the environment

We aim to reduce our operational absolute GHG emissions in line with the Swiss federal government’s goal of reaching net-zero by 2050. We have set an interim target of shrinking our carbon footprint by at least 35% from 2019 levels by 2030.

Being a responsible employer

We aim to have 25% of senior management positions held by women by 2030.

Loans

We aim to reduce the carbon footprint of our residential mortgage portfolio at a pace consistent with the Swiss federal government’s pathway to a net-zero buildings sector by 2050.*

In our trade finance business, we aim to reduce our transaction-based exposure to coal in line with the Paris Agreement-compatible scenario (as defined by the International Energy Agency).

Asset management

In our role as an asset manager, we aim to align a portion of our assets under management with the target of net-zero emissions by 2050.*

 

* Our success in achieving these targets depends largely on factors outside of our control. Our 2025 Sustainability Report contains more information on our climate targets, along with important legal information.
