Sustainability means taking responsibility

We strive to keep the negative impacts on the environment, such as our company CO2 emissions, as low as possible. Our goal is to be carbon-neutral by 2028 at the latest. We are taking specific measures to achieve this and will continue to do so. We are careful and economical in the way we use resources. We also consider resource consumption when taking business decisions.

We firmly believe that financially prosperous companies with forward-looking business models and far-sighted management can help bring about an environmentally and socially sustainable world. We analyse and select investments in accordance with our forward-looking investment approach, which is based on our own independent market opinion.

We see it as our mission to make a long-term and tangible contribution to the transition towards a more sustainable world through our investment activities. For this reason, we are continually expanding our range of sustainable investment instruments so that our clients can actively invest in the energy transition and decarbonisation of the economy.

Our portfolio reporting encompasses not just performance but also information on environmental and social issues as well as corporate management. Where available, the investments in the portfolio are displayed with ESG ratings from “A+” to “D-”. Upon request, for example for institutional clients, we prepare detailed reports and extracts in accordance with the required investment guidelines.

We are passionate about serving others and going the extra mile: our clients have the freedom to decide for themselves what responsibility means to them personally and how they wish to meet it when investing. In this dialogue, we listen to what responsibility means to them personally, what goals they want to pursue and what their stance on the environment, social issues and responsible corporate governance is.

As private bankers, we have a responsibility towards society. Since the bank was founded, it has been a top priority of ours to support the common good. We are one of the main partners of the Rütli-Foundation, which is a foundation for charitable activities we founded and are strongly committed to. We also encourage all co-entrepreneurs to personally contribute to society.

A sustainable organisation is one which is constantly learning. We are not perfect, but strive to continuously develop ourselves through further education and training. We highly value personal and professional development, equal opportunities for men and women, diversity and the compatibility of family and career. As every co-entrepreneur has individual needs, we do not have a collective set of rules. With our lean structures and direct paths, we take into account individual concerns wherever this is possible and makes sense.

Since our founding in 1996, the unlimited and personal liability of our partners has been the foundation for our responsible, sensible and sympathetic actions and inactions. We have no employees, only long-standing co-entrepreneurs. Everyone takes personal responsibility towards both clients and the company. Taking responsibility should be a worthwhile act. We share our company’s economic success and provide opportunities for financial participation in Reichmuth & Co.
