Transition to Net Zero LUGANO
As the world struggles to achieve net zero emissions, investors are increasingly recognizing the importance of aligning their portfolios with sustainable initiatives. In this context, responsAbility's Transition to Net Zero Fund has successfully completed its first year of active investment through corporate bonds in companies leading the way towards decarbonization. We invite you to discover how our investment strategy can help you align your investments with the urgent need for climate action. By attending, you will gain valuable insights into the fund's climate impact and receive portfolio updates from our experts.
