Impact comes first, always. We were founded in the 1980s to finance the pioneers of sustainable solutions. All our investment portfolios classify as Article 9. We are in it for the long term and therefore believe in the power of personal contact and partnership, rather than in the dynamic of deal making. And we firmly believe in transparency, which means that we are open about the choices we make, the dilemmas we face and how we use our influence to change a financial system.
