CIC (Switzerland) is well aware of its responsibility to society and the environment. Therefore it is particularly important to us to be careful and respectful in dealing with people and resources, as well as to have a responsible stance towards managing assets and taking financing decisions.
When it comes to investing, the three pillars of sustainable development are environmental, social and governance; these play an increasingly important part in selecting investments. That's why CIC (Switzerland) offers sustainable investment solutions, which not only have a positive impact on nature and the environment, but can also generate favourable returns. On request, the concept of sustainability can be taken into consideration in the advisory process. In addition, CIC (Switzerland) follows the directives of Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale to ensure investments are fully compliant.
In the investment area, CIC (Switzerland) acts in accordance with the guidelines of the Swiss Bankers Association on the integration of ESG preferences and ESG risks and the prevention of greenwashing in investment advice and portfolio management. In the financing area, CIC (Switzerland) acts in accordance with the guidelines of the Swiss Bankers Association for mortgage providers on the promotion of energy efficiency.
