Our Approach
Six principles in practice
Asset Quality as ESG Proxy
Institutional-grade real assets — certified buildings, well-maintained vessels, modern aircraft — inherently deliver better ESG outcomes. Conservative underwriting and ESG quality are not in tension: they point to the same assets.
Green Building Standards
allswiss applies ESG screening to real estate mandates. Preferred assets carry recognised certifications (LEED, BREEAM, DGNB) or meet equivalent standards. Sub-standard assets require a documented remediation path as a condition of financing.
Governance & Transparency
Sound governance is a prerequisite, not an add-on. Quarterly asset-level reporting, independent valuations, and co-investment by allswiss management align interests and create the transparency institutional investors require.
Responsible Counterparty Selection
KYC, AML, and sanctions screening are applied to all counterparties before engagement. We do not finance assets or sponsors that operate outside Swiss and European regulatory frameworks, regardless of yield.
Maritime & Aviation Standards
Maritime assets financed by allswiss are assessed against IMO 2030/2050 emissions trajectories. Aviation assets are evaluated against ICAO CORSIA compliance and fleet modernisation plans — older, inefficient assets carry explicit risk adjustments.
No Greenwashing
allswiss does not publish ESG ratings it cannot substantiate or make commitments that are not operationally grounded. Our sustainability approach is described here as it actually exists — not as an aspiration for marketing purposes.
Due Diligence
What we screen for
Every allswiss transaction goes through a structured review that incorporates environmental and governance factors alongside financial analysis. These are not separate ESG checklists — they are integrated into the underwriting process because they affect asset quality and long-term value.
For institutional investors requiring ESG documentation as part of their own due diligence, allswiss provides asset-level reporting that addresses the specific criteria relevant to each mandate.

Group Policy
Our position on ESG reporting
allswiss does not publish an annual sustainability report or seek external ESG ratings. Our transactions are bilateral mandates — not public funds — and the reporting obligations that apply to listed or regulated investment products do not apply here by default.
Where institutional investors have internal ESG mandates that require specific documentation, we work bilaterally to provide the information needed. This may include asset-level environmental assessments, building certification documentation, vessel inspection records, or counterparty governance disclosures.
We believe that honest, asset-specific disclosure is more useful to qualified institutional investors than generic sustainability scores. If you have specific ESG due diligence requirements, please contact us directly — we will provide what we can substantiate.
