CFM Indosuez Wealth Management // Annual report 2021

19 nicated to our customers have been supplemented with ESG ratings established by Amundi for all the equity and bond securities in its investment sphere. They will gradually be extended to other asset classes. I would like to point out that the quality of our offering has already been recognised at the 2021 WealthBriefing Asia Greater China Awards, including the awards for Best Bank for ESG andBest Bank for Sustainable and Responsible Investment. While our CSR offering and strategy are recognised by our peers, they are also better understood by our customers thanks to the actions and communication materials we have deployed. For example, a web conference dedicated exclusively to them has been offered, educational documents are available and our experts regularly address the subject in our publications. YOU ALSO MENTIONED THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT INITIATIVES CARRIED OUT BY EMPLOYEES? Indosuez employees are driven by a genuine spirit of responsibility and solidarity to promote the economic, social, environmental and cultural development of their local area. To do so, they benefit from a robust organisation in which their community support is expressed, whether through skills sponsorship or the Indosuez Foundations in France and Switzerland. I would like to briefly point out that for more than 10 years the Indosuez Foundation in France, under the aegis of the Fondation de France, has been supporting practical community projects to help vulnerable people. Nearly 80 associations, including some fifteen social impact start-ups, have benefited from the skills and professional time donated by nearly half of our employees in France. In Switzerland, the Indosuez Foundation has financed 30 environmental projects with a high economic and social impact for vulnerable communities in Switzerland and around the world since 2012. They aim to support local communities through projects that promote the transmission of knowledge, the empowerment of young people and the preservation of natural heritage. With its national corporate volunteering programme (Citizen Days), it offers the employees of the Indosuez Group inSwitzerland (Indosuez and Azqore) the opportunity to develop their multidisciplinary skills every year. HOW DOES THE COMMITMENT OF INDOSUEZ EMPLOYEES CONTRIBUTE TO THE EXPERIENCE YOU OFFER YOUR CUSTOMERS? Behind the voluntary work and commitment of our employees, the usefulness of Indosuez and in particular the usefulness of its Foundations is now recognised in the market and by our customers. It gives us a real legitimacy in philanthropy, especially with the latter. We are developing a very broad know-how in order to be able to support thosewho seek to strengthen their societal impact. Our experience and expertise enable us to advise them in the implementation of their philanthropic plans, from the choice of vehicle to its practical management.. WHAT ABOUT A FEW WORDS REGARDING 2022? In 2022, we will continue to roll out our responsible offering and ESG rating across all asset classes in our investment sphere. Wewill further systematise the inclusion of non-financial criteria in our investment processes and strategies. In the wake of the commitmentsmade by theGroup, in all our entities, all employees will bemobilised to strengthen our usefulness for our customers but also for society, thus participating in a fairer transition. The societal component of our next business plan will undoubtedly be as transformative as it is exciting.
