Mirjam Staub-Bisang, Managing Director, Country Head of BlackRock Switzerland: For 25 years, we have been helping Swiss people to build savings that will serve them throughout their lives. To do that we invest on behalf of our clients, and we put their money to work by investing in companies and projects which help develop the economy, fuelling growth, job creation and innovation in Switzerland. Part of this innovation is to focus on opportunities that that come with the transition to a low carbon economy.

As we move through the transition, we are helping clients to navigate it by providing an investment framework, sharing the analytics and tools for investors to understand the risks and by making investments that drive it forward.

Mirjam Staub-Bisang, Managing Director, Country Head of BlackRock Switzerland: So, whether you are an existing or potential client, a future colleague or business partner, or simply interested in our company – Welcome to BlackRock in Switzerland.
We help our clients [...] to fuel growth, innovation and job creation in Switzerland through their investments.
We help millions of people build savings that will benefit them for a lifetime. We make investing easier and more affordable. We are pioneering sustainable investing. And we contribute to a diverse economy that is more stable over the long term.
What if your investment not only provided returns, but could also contribute to the construction of "green" buildings and the development of sustainable agricultural solutions?
This is already a reality in practice - and quite successfully. And we continue to work, because climate risks are also investment risks.
A company's stance on ethics, sustainability and diversity issues can have a direct impact on its long-term success. That is why we are working together for more transparency.
If we can contribute to better returns this way - e.g. for people close to retirement - it is definitely worth standing up for.
