ESG Information

The following statement applies only to XY ERS Deutschland GmbH.

Management of Sustainability Risks (Art. 3 SFDR)

We currently do not pursue our own comprehensive sustainability strategy. However, we continuously monitor regulatory and market developments in the field of ESG. As soon as it becomes appropriate or required, we will adjust our internal processes and integrate sustainability risks more systematically into our advisory activities.

Consideration of Principal Adverse Impacts on Sustainability Factors (Art. 4 SFDR)

Our objective is to recommend financial instruments that match the individual investment goals and risk profiles of our clients. If our clients wish for sustainability aspects to be taken into account when selecting financial instruments, we incorporate their specific sustainability preferences into the advisory process.

Our clients may specify whether the selection of financial instruments should consider the following aspects in particular:

- environmental or social criteria,
- principles of responsible corporate governance,
- or the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors.

Depending on the type of financial instrument, the legislator has defined specific indicators for these adverse impacts, including:

- environmental, social, and employee-related matters,
- respect for human rights,
- combating corruption and bribery.

Providers of financial instruments are legally obliged to disclose the strategies they apply regarding the consideration of these adverse impacts. These disclosures include information on:

- greenhouse gas emissions,
- water and resource consumption,
- biodiversity,
- social and labor standards,
- human rights,
- anti-corruption measures.

If our clients decide that such factors should be taken into account, we consider the information and strategies published by product providers when selecting suitable financial instruments. Where available, we also use independent ESG or sustainability ratings to provide an additional assessment of the providers’ disclosed information.

Remuneration in Connection with Sustainability Risks (Art. 5 SFDR)

Our remuneration for investment advice or investment brokerage is not influenced by sustainability risks or the sustainability characteristics of financial instruments.
