Integrity and transparency are at our core.
Integrity and transparency are at our core.
Transparency is a key enabler for achieving our development mission. As a publicly-owned body we recognize that the information we publish about our investments, our operations and our governance holds us accountable to a range of stakeholders, including Parliament and the public. By providing accurate and timely information, we can help inform public debate about our effectiveness.
Over the last years we have grown our external reporting. This includes committing to a broad range of voluntary disclosures, including reporting under the Operating Principles for Impact Management, whilst being in compliance with Swiss regulation. We strive to increase our level of transparency on an ongoing basis, within the limits of our available resources.
We are an impact investor and invest with the primary goal of fostering positive developmental impact in developing countries while respecting best practices in environmental, social and governmental (ESG) matters.
Our investments are guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, actively contributing to their achievement.
We pursue a responsible investing approach that integrates ESG and impact factors in investment decisions. We adhere to the following internal guidelines and international standards:
