At LGT, we feel it is our responsibility to help tackle global, pressing challenges such as climate change. Our sustainability reporting reflects how we are proactively engaging to achieve change.
LGT has consistently expanded its sustainability reporting since we began reporting on the issue in 2012. Regulators have established new standards to harmonise reporting of sustainability topics.
Since 2023, LGT has been reporting in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards as per the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Furthermore, LGT publishes its own annual Sustainability Report as well as a Stewardship Report. This reflects our commitment to responsibility and engagement towards our clients, employees, owners and other stakeholders.
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. That is why we have defined our LGT Climate Ambition 2030.
Given the situation, I am convinced that the shift towards greater sustainability makes strong economic sense.
The LGT Climate Ambition 2030 supports the objective of the Paris Agreement, which is to limit global warming to below 2° C, or 1.5° C if possible. For example, by 2030, we are striving to reduce emissions arising from our own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 90 % compared with 2019.
Where are we on the path to achieving our LGT Climate Ambition 2030? Here is an overview:
Reduction of Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2025 compared with 2024
Share of electrical energy from renewable energy sources in 2025
Women in top management as of 2025
Hours of volunteer service contributed by LGT employees to community and environmental projects in 2025
