were provided with clean drinking water by the companies in which the fund invests (source: total supply capacity of the water supply companies held in the fund).

were supplied with renewable energy by the companies in the fund (source: power consumption per household and year in Austria: 5.15 MWh, Statistics Austria).

were saved through recycling efforts by the companies in the fund. This corresponds to 26.62 times the amount of waste generated by the City of Vienna in 2024 (source: annual Report 2024 of Municipal Department MA 48).

WWF projects supported
Erste Asset Management waives a portion of its management fees. Since 2006, these contributions have been used to support the WWF’s climate and nature conservation program worldwide. Achievements since the start of the collaboration:
Contribution to the partnership > over 6 million euros
Since the partnership began, 6.8 million euros have already been allocated to support numerous WWF environmental and nature conservation projects, as well as to collaboration related to the fund (as of August 2026).

On this area (more than twice the size of Austria), we contribute to protecting the habitat of the last Indochinese tigers in the border region between Myanmar and Thailand.
Sustainable Development Goals and ERSTE WWF STOCK ENVIRONMENT:
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 clean water, forward-looking infrastructure, responsible consumption 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 that positively contributes to the achievement of the relevant goal (source: Erste Asset Management supports the UN SDGs, data as of 30.04.2026).
