Sustainable for a quarter of a century

As the asset manager of our investment funds, Zürcher Kantonalbank's Asset Management has been offering sustainable investment funds since 1998. In 2020, Zürcher Kantonalbank became one of the first Swiss asset managers to develop a uniform framework for sustainable investments.

Sustainable and transparent

We systematically apply sustainable criteria to Responsible funds and strict exclusion criteria to Sustainable funds. Our sustainability reporting makes sustainability transparent.
