"Our goal is to increase the effectiveness of responsible investing and to bring the approach into wider use."

"In my professional life, I have the privilege of helping our clients to integrate sustainability aspects into their investment strategies. My goal is to ensure that change is not only talked about, but also enacted."

What is your understanding of Sustainable Finance? How can this movement be successfully developed further and what role does Umweltbank play in this? We talked about this in our interview with Erik Mundinger und Markus Schmidt from Umweltbank.

"I am driven by the conviction that finance is part of the solution to our greatest environmental and social challenges."

"In my role as Head of Sustainability, I engage in sustainability dialog with as many investors and companies as possible to ensure that capital will be invested into projects and companies that will ensure that the Paris Agreement goals are met."

"My goal is to anchor our sustainability strategy even more firmly and to bring it into the minds of our employees - from the board of directors to our colleagues in customer dialog or back office."

"Already today, the way we conduct our business is led by a broad set of values that also contains important sustainability features. This serves as a good basis for our further transformation. Our aim is to simply be a good and sustainable bank for our clients."

"The ongoing search for striking a balance between too weak requirements and over-regulation is what motivates and fascinates me."

"This ethical and moral responsibility is what motivates me. I want to prove that banks can (only) be economically successful when taking on that responsibility."

"Our aim is for commitment and sustainability to anchor more firmly in our company and to become a 'New Normal' and 'New Way of Banking'. The criteria should be included in every consideration, regardless of whether it is about business or your own processes and policies."
