For us, sustainability is a sociopolitical and economic imperative. As a responsible company, FERI supports in particular the sustainable development goals defined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
In order to consistently embed and implement our sustainability strategy, we established the FERI SDG Office as a central competence center in 2019. It manages the individual, strategic consulting of sustainable investment solutions for our clients. To achieve sustainable economic success, we realize strategic investments in a customized, future-oriented and responsible investment strategy.
At the corporate level, we are also guided by the SDG. In our commitment to society and the environment, we focus in particular on five selected sustainability goals where we see our greatest opportunity to make an impact.
Goal: Ensure inclusive, equal and high-quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Education is a core value for us: as a knowledge-based service company, the qualification and further training of our employees is a high priority. High-quality education is therefore an indispensable prerequisite for providing high-quality advice to our customers.
The promotion of education is a fundamental value as well as an essential prerequisite for global, sustainable development and thus for securing the future.
Goal: Achieve gender equality and self-determination for all women and girls.
We benefit from the diversity of our employees, which is why we actively promote diversity and equality as a matter of course and create the necessary framework conditions for this. Only in this way - with many talents, different backgrounds and strengths - can we benefit together in a challenging and future-oriented environment.
The core of our corporate culture is always responsible action and respectful cooperation. We implement this in an open and team-oriented corporate culture.
Goal: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
Affordable and clean energy is an essential building block for countering global environmental and climate challenges.
It is our ambition to use resources responsibly. Efficient environmental and resource management is therefore anchored in our sustainability management. Affordable and clean energy is closely related to climate protection. We use electricity from renewable sources throughout the Group and continue to work towards this goal with our own CO2 neutrality.
Goal: Promote lasting, broad-based and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
Sustainability is a social as well as sociopolitical imperative. The goal of companies must be to achieve lasting economic success while acting in an ecologically, socially and civically responsible manner. We face up to this responsibility out of deep conviction. Sustainability is a key element of our corporate strategy.
In addition to our economic and social responsibility - which we bear in particular as a partner in financial matters for our customers and as a reliable employer - we also assume responsibility for the ecological impact of our actions. Thus, lasting, broad-based and sustainable economic growth is our foundation.
Goal: Take immediate action to combat climate change and its impacts.
We have aligned our climate protection commitment with the SDG that are particularly relevant to us: By offsetting our emissions, we support not only the conservation of biodiversity but also social aspects such as the education of local people.
The aim of the FERI Sustainability Policy is to define a clear basic understanding, associated standards and goals, and to derive compliant courses of action and rules of conduct on the subject of sustainability. In addition to regulatory aspects, our sustainability approach is based on the concept of the SDG. Regulatory aspects and SDG are target-oriented factors for us when incorporating sustainability aspects and risks into investment decision-making processes and investment advisory activities. In addition, the SDG form the basis of our commitment to corporate social responsibility. Learn more here:
The 17 SDG and their 169 targets are a summary of the world's most pressing environmental, social, and economic issues; thus, they serve as a definitive list of key global sustainability ambitions.
For us, sustainability is an economic and sociopolitical imperative. The far-reaching measures of the "Sustainable Finance" initiatives of the German government and the EU will trigger a fundamental transformation of the financial industry. For FERI, this topic has been important for a long time and is now moving much more into the focus of our corporate orientation and activities.
