Sustainability report 2023 Responsibility and engagement

LGT has consistently expanded its sustainability reporting since we began reporting on the issue in 2012. Recently, regulators established new standards to harmonise reporting of sustainability.  

Though the new standards are not yet in force, LGT is electing to already report in accordance with them for the year 2023. This reflects our commitment to responsibility and engagement for our clients, employees, our owner and other stakeholders. 

Sustainability strategy    

At LGT, we feel it is our responsibility to help tackle the climate crisis, biodiversity loss and other major, pressing challenges the world faces today. Our goals and our progress towards them are laid out in our Sustainability Strategy 2030. The strategy’s three pillars are Clients & Investments, Business & Operations and People & Society.  

We view climate change as an especially urgent challenge. So we have also defined a focused Climate Ambition 2030. This includes our net-zero 2030 target for our emissions, and measures to decarbonise client portfolios.   

Net zero by 2030 - this is the ambitious target we have set ourselves as part of the Climate Ambition 2030. In order to achieve it, we are aligning all areas of the company with a view to sustainability. For many years, we have been working intensively to optimize our consulting, our range of products and services, and our operations in terms of sustainability. We have already achieved some milestones. But there is much more to be done.
