LGT Wealth Management has partnered with the NatureAlpha platform to further advance the sustainability of its investment decisions.
The partnership echoes LGT’s commitment to its Sustainability Strategy 2030, where it is taking responsibility to help combat climate change and biodiversity loss. With the help of data from NatureAlpha’s curated datasets – including scientific, regulatory, corporate and governmental sources, as well as AI-driven solutions – LGT hopes to gain further insight into the risks and impacts of their investments on nature.
Vian Sharif (pictured), founder of NatureAlpha, said: “We have been very encouraged to observe that the launch of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures has led to an understanding, among many companies, about the impact of their operations on the natural world.
“Furthermore, we are witnessing growing recognition and meaningful action amongst many financial institutions regarding their duty to safeguard Planet Earth. As one of the 194 signatories of the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge, LGT is helping to pave the way in what we believe will be a transformative year for nature-positive finance.”
Ursula Finsterwald, head of LGT group sustainability management, added: “Biodiversity loss poses a serious threat to both the systemic and financial stability of our planet. By helping investors make informed decisions based on reliable biodiversity metrics, NatureAlpha fills an important gap. Partnering with a company that has extensive expertise in highly complex nature-related data will be invaluable for us.”
