GOUVERNANCE
Sponsor of the Polar POD Expedition Since 2021, we have been a member of the Support Committee and signed a sponsorship agreement in support of the Polar POD expedition. This scientific project, led by Jean-Louis Etienne, aims to explore the largely unknown Southern Ocean, one of the planet’s main oceanic carbon sinks. To carry out measurements, recordings, and sample collections throughout the year, Jean-Louis Etienne and his team have designed a revolutionary ship, a true station drifting around Antarctica. As part of this partnership, we contribute a portion of the management fees from two of our funds focused on climate transition to the Océan Polaire association to help fund the Polar POD expedition
1.3 Adopting sustainable resource management
1.4 Promote responsible purchasing management
Following our Group policy, we are committed to the sustainable use of resources.
Each entity of our Group continues its efforts to reduce purchases of products from non-sustainable sources . The Group’s Responsible Materials Usage Guide outlines the obligations of our offices regarding the sourcing and use of sustainable materials and other supplies. Rothschild & Co’s efforts to make its supply chain more sustainable and avoid any indirect complicity in negative environmental practices are reflected in the Group’s Third-Party Relationship Management Policy and the Supplier Code of Conduct .
Paper Our Group has set a target, to reduce paper use per FTE by 25% by 2025, followed by the usage of sustainable sourced printing paper only. We have already reached 68% (1) of reduction, above our target. Waste management Our Group aims to achieve 80% recycling rates by 2025 and zero waste policy by 2030. For each office, we have assigned a ‘recycling officer’ , and sorting and recycling waste bins are made available to employees. To prevent the usage of disposable cups, all employees will receive “Wel- come Pack” upon arrival in the company.
