Glacier Initiative: AMAS favors indirect counterproposal
The Swiss electorate will vote on the draft Climate Protection Act, which arose from the withdrawn Glacier Initiative. The new Act would place some of the burden on the Swiss asset management industry. AMAS is in favor of this in principle.

AMAS’s position paper, May 2022
AMAS Position zu Greenwashing
Die Integrität von Anlageprodukten ist von zentraler Bedeutung für den Schweizer Finanzplatz und die Asset Management Industrie.
Kundinnen und Kunden erwarten zu Recht Qualität von den hiesigen Asset
Managern. Dies gilt selbstverständlich auch für als nachhaltig vermarktete
Anlageprodukte.
Die Asset Management Association Switzerland (AMAS) lehnt daher jede Form von Greenwashing ab und trägt auch mit eigenen Massnahmen zur Sicherstellung der Glaubwürdigkeit des Schweizer Finanzplatzes bei.
