Selection of securities
The fund purchases impact bonds that the management company classifies as sustainable based on a pre-defined selection process. The bond-funded projects have a positive collective impact on humanity and nature.
This positive impact is usually verified and confirmed by third parties on behalf of the issuer when the bonds are issued and at regular intervals thereafter.
Environmentally sustainable investments within the meaning of the EU Taxonomy Regulation as of 29 May 2026: 9.99%
This figure only includes climate-related investments of the fund, as the other topics covered by the Regulation, such as water or waste, have not yet been definitively defined. Furthermore, the environmental projects funded by green bonds are not recognised separately; much rather, the calculation is based on the total turnover of the issuers concerned (including non-environmental economic activities).
As a result, the proportion of environmentally sustainable investments shown above is lower than if assessed at bond level. ESG Plus estimates that figure to be 81.4% as of 29 May 2026 based on the bonds held.
Sustainable Development Goals and ERSTE RESPONSIBLE BOND GLOBAL IMPACT:
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations are at the centre of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, to which all UN Member States subscribed in 2015. The 17 SDGs cover social, economic and environmental issues, focusing on the fight against poverty, education and health as well as marine and forest conservation and joint efforts to combat climate change.
The following chart shows the investments of the fund in alignment with the SDGs and the associated targets. For example, investments in renewable energies were allocated to SDG 7 “Affordable and clean energy”. The figures in the chart refer to the proportion of the fund’s total investment assets (source: Erste Asset Management supports the UN SDGs, data as of 29/05/2026, data provided by ESG Plus GmbH).
