The 2018 general meetings of �ǿ����޴�ý Foundation and the company �ǿ����޴�ý Services mark a milestone with the departure of Dominique Biedermann the last representative of the founders. The boards express their gratitude for his significant contribution to the development and the success of �ǿ����޴�ý. As of today, two persons will take on the chairmanship of �ǿ����޴�ý Foundation and �ǿ����޴�ý Services respectively. �ǿ����޴�ý Foundation is responsible for the strategic orientation guided by �ǿ����޴�ý’ Charter founded on the notion of sustainable development whereas the company �ǿ����޴�ý Services offers a range of high-quality products in the area of socially responsible investment.

Elected to the chairmanship of �ǿ����޴�ý Foundation, Rudolf Rechsteiner said: “I look forward to taking up the torch from Dominique Biedermann. It is important to me that �ǿ����޴�ý Foundation continues its mission in the service of pension funds in an independent and professional manner in order to continue promoting socially responsible investment and sustainable development. Today, �ǿ����޴�ý is recognized in Switzerland as a major force in its field by both pension funds and civil society in general and our purpose is to maintain this”.

The new chairwoman of the board of �ǿ����޴�ý Services, Beth Krasna said: “I am enthusiastic to pursue the development and promotion of the high-quality products offered by �ǿ����޴�ý Services. Socially responsible investment rests on the integration of non-financial criteria in fund management as well as on the active exercise of shareholder rights”.
