    Sustainability

    Working together for a sustainable future

    Zuger Kantonalbank combines business actions with ethical principles along with social and environmental responsibilities. Sustainability is the foundation of our corporate philosophy and is reflected in our convictions.

    As a leading regional bank anchored within the Canton of Zug, we bear a special responsibility for society and the environment – hence our long-term support for the region, its people, and a sustainable future. Our commitment to sustainability shapes our core business as well as our procurement practice, which we consistently align with ESG criteria.

    Our vision

    We think and act in a future-oriented way. We incorporate ecological and social aspects into our ambitious business objectives. In this way, we create responsible and sustainable added value for our clients, shareholders and employees, as well as for the Zug economic region and for the environment. As a company, we strive to be a sustainable bank with particular expertise in sustainable investments.

    Our sustainability objectives

    The following sustainability objectives have been defined for the bank as a whole:

    • Positioning as a bank with distinct ESG expertise in investment business (ESG = Environment, Social and Governance)
    • Alignment of bank operations with the net zero target by 2030 (Scope 1 and Scope 21)
    • Increased attractiveness as an employer, i.e. ranked among the top third of the Swiss Employer Awards (category 250 to 999 employees)
    • Improvement of Zuger Kantonalbank’s sustainability ratings

    1 Scope 1 includes carbon emissions produced by the company itself, including vehicles with combustion engines, oil or gas heating systems. Scope 2 includes indirect emissions arising due to the purchase of external electricity, heating and cooling.

    Our responsibility

    We are aware of our responsibility towards the environment, society and future generations and therefore strive to take environmental and social aspects into account in all areas of our business.
