during the LuxFLAG Sustainable Investment Week:

Investing for change. Sustainability is key!
Investors are increasingly interested in sustainable investing as evidenced by the record highs reached in sustainable funds in 2020 with over USD 300 billion in new investments according to investment research firm Morningstar.
Dr. Felix Brill, CIO and president of the Sustainability Board of VP Bank, will present why VP Bank is convinced that integrating ESG factors into the investment process leads to better decision-making and why sustainability is key to meet the preferences of clients.
In 2020 VP Bank launched the “Investing for Change” initiative to actively bring about positive change through sustainable investing. Under this initiative we have developed a sustainability assessment methodology to guide our investment
decisions and launched products with an ESG focus. Since 1 January 2021, we are integrating sustainability risks and opportunities into all investment decisions. Through thematic investing, we identify future topics
and companies that are responding to social and environmental changes in a significant way. We do not treat sustainability as a product, but consistently incorporate it into our investment processes and include it in the portfolio
construction for our discretionary mandates as well as in the advice we provide to our clients. By doing so, we enable our clients and investors to seize opportunities on the financial market and profit sustainably.
