IMPACT INVESTING
Impact investing involves intentionally making investments that are aimed at driving positive social and environmental outcomes while also making a profit. We believe that capital can be a force multiplier for good, and we support our clients by offering a diverse platform of qualified impact investment opportunities. In 2023, we allocated more than $60 million into impact investing initiatives.

PHILANTHROPY
We manage and support a number of philanthropic initiatives, and actively support our clients in their own philanthropic efforts. In 2019, we endowed the Edelweiss Capital Foundation with seed funding of €15 million, and in subsequent years, the Foundation has disbursed more than €30 million in charitable grants.

SUSTAINABILITY
Our affiliated companies have been serious about sustainability since the beginning of the ESG movement in the late 2000s. For us, sustainability is not just a trendy buzzword, but a real commitment. We are always exploring ways to help our clients restructure their portfolios so as to reflect that they stand in solidarity with those who believe in preserving our most precious asset, our planet, for future generations.

U.N. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
As a group, we are supporters of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and we have worked extensively with our clients to establish charitable or non-profit organizations that address specific issues, with a wide range of capabilities beyond philanthropy – including but not limited to advocacy, awareness, direct action, and frontline assistance. Many of our clients’ nonprofit initiatives have succeeded in attaining a high profile nationally and regionally.

COMMUNITY
Our clients are invited to attend private summits and conferences on a regular basis. These are exclusive, access-restricted events which focus on intimate, face-to-face discussions with renowned change-makers and thought leaders across different fields, including politics, business, nonprofit organizations, media, entertainment, sports and the arts, with the purpose of going beyond ideation, and to inspire real action.
