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.

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. 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.
