Responsibility

Sustainability and social responsibility are more than just principles to us – they are the guiding values of our actions.

We actively support initiatives such as Arbeitsgruppe Nachhaltige Entwicklung Vorwärts Spoho and Perspektivenmacher, which foster sustainable and vibrant club culture and help young adults in their education, studies, and early career development.

In our daily operations, we rely on digital processes, paperless workflows, and sustainable mobility.

At the same time, we emphasize the integration and implementation of ESG criteria by fund managers, ethical partnerships, and maximum transparency — all to achieve long-term, responsible success.
