Sustainable Investments
The ETH Zurich Foundation attaches great importance to sustainable investments and includes sustainability in its investment strategy according to currently valid ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, Governance). Whenever possible, the Foundation invests in sustainable investment solutions and strives to maximise their portfolio share.
Organisation and Financing
The members of the ETH Zurich Foundation Board kindly offer their services on a voluntary basis. Operations are financed by capital gains made from the total assets under management. Should a poor fiscal year lead to insufficient revenue to cover the costs, the fund capital can be used proportionally. The assignments of financial resources are all reported.
Tax deduction
Donations to the ETH Zurich Foundation are tax deductible. All donors automatically receive a donation receipt.
Asset Management
Professional asset management is ensured with binding investment directives. The Foundation’s Investment Committee pays particular attention to following a risk-conscious and sustainable investment strategy.
Auditors
Auditing is carried out in compliance with Swiss GAAP FER regulations by PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Zurich.
