Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Julius Baer Group presents a mixed ethical profile. The company demonstrates a commitment to diversity and inclusion, reflected in its Bloomberg Gender Equality Index inclusion and a global DE&I score of 8.1 out of 10. Reports indicate an average gender pay gap below the 5% regulatory threshold globally since 2015, though data on living wage or CEO-to-median-employee pay ratio is not available. Environmentally, Julius Baer has SBTi-validated near-term targets, sources 100% renewable electricity in Switzerland, and supports reforestation projects. However, its 2024 Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions were 684,000 tCO₂e, with Scope 3 emissions at 3,392,000 tCO₂e, indicating a substantial carbon footprint. The company targets net-zero emissions on operations by 2030 and for its lending books by 2050.

0

No relevant evidence was found in the provided articles to assess JGE.XETRA against the 'Honest & Fair Business' ethical value. The articles either pertain to a different company or were inaccessible.

Kind to Animals

0

As a financial institution, Julius Baer Group's core business model does not involve activities related to animal testing, animal agriculture, or the production of animal-derived products. Therefore, KPIs such as cruelty-free certification, alternative testing, humane operations, ethical input substitution, cage-free sourcing, animal testing policy and volume, innovation investment, animal agriculture ethics, and animal-free R&D collaboration are not applicable. While the company supports habitat restoration projects, the articles do not provide specific, quantifiable biodiversity impact metrics (e.g., species recovery, population increases, or biodiversity indices) or the percentage of revenue allocated to these projects, which are required to score the 'wildlife_conservation_impact' KPI. Similarly, public policy engagement is mentioned generally for sustainability, but not specifically for animal welfare policy improvement or advocacy, leading to its omission.
