It is this conviction that guides our efforts to mobilize capital towards creating a positive impact and improve the current ESG picture of these smaller companies”, says Bertrand Bricheux, Global Head of Sales & Marketing, at Mirabaud Asset Management.

“We are convinced adequate implementation of ESG practices will indeed be in favour of long-term performance, with an ever-increasing number of companies striving to improve ESG standards and practices that are rewarded by today’s investment community” outs Hamid Amoura, ISR officer for Mirabaud Group.
