Sustainability Report

Credit Suisse’s efforts to advance ESG in 2020

Reporting on Sustainability

At Credit Suisse, we are committed to elevating our efforts around environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG). Upgrading our sustainability reporting in 2020 is another step in that direction— by disclosing according to SASB metrics for the first time and enhancing our disclosure against the TCFD framework.

«We enhanced our sustainability strategy at Credit Suisse, determined to meet the needs of our clients, employees, shareholders and the communities in which we operate.»

Thomas Gottstein, Chief Executive Officer

2020 sustainability highlights at Credit Suisse

It was a milestone year for the firm: from the creation of a new Sustainability, Research & Investment Solutions function at the Executive Board level to the commitment to achieve net zero emissions from our operations, supply chain and financing activities no later than 2050.

«Applying an ESG lens to business strategy is crucial to generating great results for clients, employees, shareholders and society at large.»

Iris Bohnet, Board of Directors Sustainability Leader
Lydie Hudson, CEO Sustainability, Research & Investment Solutions
