CH – Publication of the Swiss Stewardship Code
On October 4, 2023, the Asset Management Association Switzerland (AMAS) published its Swiss Stewardship Code, which provides guidelines for Asset Managers, Asset Owners, and financial service providers, integrating responsible asset management into the investment processes of the Swiss investment industry.
The Swiss Stewardship Code is applicable on a voluntary basis and serves as a recommendation and guideline for integrating responsible management into the investment process. It comprises nine principles and describes the most important elements for effective and successful implementation. It is aligned with the global governance principles of the International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN), the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and the UK Stewardship Code, which together set an international benchmark for investors' managing activities.
