Tetra Pak: Pioneering a sustainable future
The consequences of climate change – drought, floods, along with unreliable access to water and energy – have a destabilising impact on economies and communities around the world. Further rises in global warming could lead to increased levels of vulnerability when it comes to food security – leading to a severe risk of increased hunger across many geographies. This is a severe challenge given the expected growth of the global population to 9.1 billion – requiring an increase in food availability by 70%. Therefore, the role of food sector in tackling climate change is becoming even more imperative.
Tetra Pak – a leading food processing and packaging solutions company – has chosen to focus on a renewability- and recyclability-driven innovation pathway to ensure the de-carbonisation and circularity of materials and address the need for sustainable food packaging.

ZEISS: A company that sees beyond
Climate change and sustainability are increasingly becoming the watchwords for companies across sectors, especially in manufacture of consumer products. The public are, more and more, becoming very aware of the need for resource conservation and for companies to engage in optimisation of their processes to offset negative environmental impact. This is particularly important in industries responsible for providing the tools or equipment for others – such as technologies for the manufacturing sector – who play a crucial role for reducing the environmental footprint of our digital work and life.
ZEISS is a longstanding and sustainable presence in its industry – the company’s two founders, Carl Zeiss and Ernst Abbe, made sustainability part of the corporate identity.

Dirk Rossmann GmbH: driving the future of sustainability forward
The world’s population is growing. As of March 2020, there was an approximate global population of 7.77 billion, and this number is only expected to increase over the coming decades. However, with this population increase, the need for food, water and other resources will similarly rise to levels we have never faced before. The world is currently facing an environmental crisis, with the effects of climate change already showing an irrevocable impact. Trading companies and their customers have a very special responsibility towards the climate change. People buy millions of products in stores every day. In order to solve complex sustainability challenges, it is therefore essential that retail companies offer customers finished products to solve these challenges. Customers must be empowered to integrate sustainability into their everyday life. As a result, any conversation about how to effectively provide new products for a growing population must factor in sustainability to keep from causing further damage.
With it´s longstanding and sustainable presence across the retail and food sectors, owing to its status as one of the largest drug store chains in Germany and beyond, the Dirk Rossmann GmbH integrates sustainable management into the corporate culture for almost 50 years.

Investors are aiming to generate a positive investment outcome and impact, alongside managing financial risks and returns.

Vontobel: Islands that count in the sea of sustainability
In the sea of sustainable investing, it is important to concentrate on the islands that count and do what you are good at. Vontobel’s approach is rooted as much in tradition as in active management, i.e. deep research, stock picking, company dialogue, and integration of ESG aspects in the investment process.
Tradition heightens credibility
Sustainable investing has become a bit of a buzzword in asset management, sometimes leaving investors lost for choice. One aspect that can distinguish one investment firm from another is tradition, according to Vontobel Chief Executive Officer Zeno Staub. “A lot of the thinking that comes with ESG obviously leads to a long-term perspective, something that in some instances got lost in the financial industry or in the day to day hectic financial markets. We have the privilege of having an anchor shareholder that truly acts across generations,” Staub said in a video on the occasion of Vontobel’s participation in the “50 sustainability & climate leaders” initiative, an international project to highlight companies’ sustainability achievements.
Multiple challenges – and opportunities
Investing in accordance with environmental, social and governance standards covers a vast expanse of possible topics. It encompasses areas as diverse as the gender pay gap, clean drinking water, or global warming, according to Dan Scott, Vontobel’s WM Chief Investment Officer and Head of Impact & Thematics. But these challenges also point to investment opportunities in asset classes such as equities, bonds, and multi asset. “What we’re doing is investing in companies that have innovations, ways to solve problems. As an investor, our role is to help finance the business model of a company that, for example, will provide clean drinking water,” Scott says.
Balancing out different interests
At first sight, asset management and climate action seem to have little in common. Yet the contribution of investment firms shouldn’t be underestimated. Even so, it is important to strike the right balance between the environmental benefits, profits for shareholders and income for employees, according to Sudhir Roc-Sennett, Head of Thought Leadership & ESG at Vontobel’s Quality Growth boutique. Engaging with the companies is also crucial. “All businesses are run by people, and so you have to talk to them about their goals and how they are evolving,” Roc-Sennett adds.
Deep research and ethical questions
Active managers like Vontobel that construct focused portfolios of suitable equities or bonds rely on specialised in-house research. Analysts track a multitude of indicators including ethical ones, says Lara Kesterton, Head of ESG Research at Vontobel’s mtx boutique. “ESG is really about assessing a company’s performance on its real world issues, so this can range from strikes in its supply chain to questions regarding child or forced labor,” she notes.
The world is changings and so are asset managers
There is no question that sustainable investing will continue to evolve, also because governments and regulators around the world are now looking more closely at such strategies. “The world is changing, and if you want to deliver value to your clients, you need to take care of the ESG side of things as part of your business and investment analysis,” says Lukas Münstermann, Vontobel’s Senior ESG Investment Specialist. For this, “ESG needs to be part of the overall investment philosophy. It needs to be part of the investment process. It needs to be part of each and every investment decision,” Münstermann adds.
