ESG Investment Funds – what exactly does it mean?

ESG means Environmental, Social and Governance. These funds are based on the idea that those companies and countries that use their resources in a sustainable way will probably achieve better economic performance as well than the others.

With our ESG Investment Funds you can benefit from the performance of companies that are at the leaders in reducing the risk factors caused by climate crisis, global warming, social inequalities, and unethical corporate operations. Thereby contributing to a more sustainable future.

ESG Investment Funds don’t invest in weapon producing or in genetic manipulation and they avoid investing in companies or countries, where human rights and labour rights are violated and for these funds derivative food speculation is forbidden.
