While the European Commission is still working on a general definition on the topic of "sustainability", and in Austria working groups on the same topic are being convened, the International Finance Corporation published the first market standards for impact investing in April 2019.
The newly created market standard for impact investing by the IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, was able to win well-known signatories right from the start - we think that's quite a good start!

Dialogue art - expanding the value of art

Art is created in dialogue, art enables dialogue. Thus, the value of art (also!) lies before, beside and after the represented or staged work - namely in the dialogue that art so understood and lived enables.

On February 28, Minister of Sustainable Development Köstinger and Finance Minister Löger addressed the public via a press conference. At least by optimists the presentation of concrete measures to achieve the climate goals was expected.

To be honest - we were disappointed because we actually expected more. Instead of presenting the first measures of a Green Finance Agenda, only measures were presented on how to do the same. The press conference presented as a kick-off event was nothing more than a - again - starting signal. But we‘ve already had it – haven‘t we...?!

Innovation and commitment pay off

At the end of February, two of our asset managers had the opportunity to speak to interested asset managers about "New trends in the capital market" at the 55th Börse Express Roadshow on the Vienna Stock Exchange.

Mario Linimeier from Medical Strategy talks about "Biotech: Growth through Innovation." Carl Berthold, Co-Founder of JAR Capital, shows ways to integrate ESG criteria in the high yield range of corporate bonds.

"Not only for risk management reasons but also for the future of the world, it is essential today to focus on social and environmental developments as well as on 'governance' when deciding which securities to invest in portfolios," says Susanne Lederer-Pabst.

Even if there is still room for improvement in many respects in Austria, Brussels has recognized that resource-efficient business is a must.
