Sustainability at the Heart of Our Mission
Spuerkeess and Erste Asset Management, the asset management company of the Austria Erste Group, announce a strategic partnership. This collaboration highlights the commitment of both companies to promoting and offering its clients investment solutions that consider sustainability challenges.
Erste AM has been one of the pioneers in sustainable investing in the German-speaking region for more than 20 years. Strict minimum criteria that consider all ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) factors and a specially developed sustainability score to evaluate companies are the hallmarks of Erste AM's investment approach. A dedicated Responsible Investments team analyzes companies in terms of sustainability factors and contacts companies in the form of engagements to help them move towards a more sustainable path.
The sustainable philosophy is also underpinned by external certifications and labels. In addition, Erste AM has developed its own ESGenius Score model to assess the sustainability performance of companies and countries. In the future, Spuerkeess customers will be able to benefit from the extensive know-how and decades of experience of Erste AM in the field of sustainable investing.
I would like to thank Erste Group for launching our partnership allowing Spuerkeess to offer a new range of sustainable investment opportunities to its customers. Our clients can be assured that their investments not only support their financial future but also actively contribute to addressing global challenges.
Romain Wehles | Executive Vice President Spuerkeess
We are convinced that our well-established sustainable investment process, developed over decades of dedicated work, will add significant value to the customers of Spuerkeess, while addressing the numerous climate and environmental challenges our planet faces.
