Sustainability

ACTING RESPONSIBLY IS IN OUR NATURE

The Commodity Capital team is actively committed to sustainable raw material extraction and has already anchored this concept in the company philosophy and work structures since it was founded in 2009. On the one hand, we act sustainably in our daily work, on the other hand, we pay attention to the sustainability of the raw material project in all investments. By signing the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), Commodity Capital AG gives even more weight to the consideration of sustainability criteria in its investment decisions.

At the heart of our commitment is our obligation to create sustainable values ​​for our investors and partners by prioritizing economic, ecological and social aspects. Without the extraction of raw materials there is no “green or electric mobility”, sustainable economic development or even indispensable things of daily use. The only question is: How are the raw materials obtained and how can the ore mining be carried out in the most environmentally friendly way possible without sacrificing the important rescources?
