"We are delighted to be one of the founding members of this pioneering initiative. For us, this commitment is another logical step in our comprehensive sustainability strategy. As an international private bank that operates around the globe, we are convinced that banking and the entire financial sector must become stronger advocates for sustainability – and the sooner, the better. This is the only way we can work together with other sectors and stakeholders to achieve the ambitious climate targets required to halt the catastrophic consequences of climate change. The measures of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance point the way and are an important step in the right direction."
