In the publication of Facing Finance, it is shown that at the time of survey, we had invested 11 million euros in three of the companies mentioned in the report as part of the retail funds of Alte Leipziger Trust. All three companies are part of the MSCI Germany and have an ESG rating score of C+ or higher from ISS ESG.

As part of our engagement strategy, we actively address shortcomings and opportunities for improvement in dealing with climate- and sustainability-related challenges, both in direct dialogue with our portfolio companies and at their annual general meetings. In general, we are constantly working on improving the ESG standards of our investments. Apart from companies, this also includes investments in states and local authorities, which account for the majority of our investments.
