Lombard Odier is a Swiss investment bank founded in 1796 in Geneva. The company, owned by 7 partners, manages approximately USD 290 billion per year. According to Patrick Odier, CEO of the company, our current business model has reached its limits and there is an urgent need to move towards a more sustainable business model. To accelerate this revolution, Lombard Odier has decided to become a pioneer in sustainable asset management.
With environmental problems more real than ever, some companies have adopted sustainable business practices and Lombard Odier is investing heavily in these companies while motivating others to disrupt their model.

The 3 Pillars methodology enables the bank to pursue its impact investment strategy, i.e. to take into account the impact of their investment on people and the planet. They want to anticipate future regulations and clients' expectations in terms of sustainable development before they materialise, in order to build the best possible portfolio for their clients.
