COMPANY COMMITMENT
GFG Groupe Financier de Gestion believes it is necessary to act actively to preserve the environment and therefore to use the available resources in a responsible and forward-looking manner, fighting waste and encouraging environmentally-friendly individual behaviors.
For this reason, we have decided to take measures to reduce the environmental impact of our corporate activities.
In particular, in March 2021, we became signatories of the National Energy Transition Pact, an initiative set up by the Monegasque government in the context of the Mission for Energy Transition (MTE), whose objective is to limit greenhouse gas emissions and encourage the production and use of renewable energy.
The National Energy Transition Pact has three main areas of intervention:
- Mobility, whose objective is the incentive to use means of transport with limited/no environmental impact;
- Waste, with the aim of reducing the amount of waste produced and differentiating it;
- Energy, with the aim of using within the office energy sources whose production has a low environmental impact.
INVESTMENTS
GFG Groupe Financier de Gestion implements - in relation to UCITS vehicles managed as Investment Manager - an ESG Policy.
We believe that - keeping the current financial goals for the funds we manage unchanged - a non-financial goal, driven by ESG-related research, can be successfully integrated to promote long-term business sustainability and prevent potential financial risks arising from monitoring issues related to the Environmental, Social and Governance aspects of the instruments in which our products invest.
