Statement on the topic of UN PRI and ESG by SHS Partner Dr André Zimmermann
SHS has been an official member of the United Nations Initiative for Responsible Investment, or UN PRI, since September 2021.
What does UN PRI membership mean for SHS?
Dr André Zimmermann (Partner and Head of ESG at SHS): As a specialised healthcare investor, SHS has been investing according to ethical standards for more than 25 years. The SHS ESG guidelines are our guard rails in this regard. We check all companies in which we invest for ESG criteria as part of our due diligence. Our membership of the UN PRI (United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment) is a confirmation of our work and our clear stance on socially responsible investment. The healthcare sector in particular offers ideal conditions for an ESG investor.
