About the FNG-label

The Tareno Global Water Solutions Fund has been awarded the FNG label for the seventh time in a row and has once again received three out of three possible stars.

The FNG label was developed by Forum Nachhal­tige Geldan­lagen e.V., or FNG for short, together with acade­mics from the Univer­sity of Hamburg and civil society stake­hol­ders. Follo­wing its intro­duc­tion in 2015, it quickly estab­lished itself as a quality standard for sustainable invest­ment funds in German-speaking count­ries.

The Tareno Global Water Solutions Fund was the first water fund ever to receive the coveted label of approval in 2018.

Improved sustaina­bi­lity perfor­mance is recognized by the FNG

“We are delighted to receive this award once again and are proud to have retained our third star,” comments Katja Von Krannich­feldt, ESG analyst and fund manager at Tareno. “Over the past few years, we have made great progress at all levels of the sustaina­bi­lity process. Having the quality of our process audited and certi­fied by an external body such as the FNG is very important for the market.”

In addition to the minimum requi­re­ments that must be met in order to be awarded the FNG label, there is a so-called level model. In this model, up to three stars can be achieved in the areas of insti­tu­tional credi­bi­lity, product standards, selec­tion strategy, dialogs and key perfor­mance indica­tors. The Tareno Global Water Solutions Fund once again receives three out of three possible stars in all catego­ries.

The task now is to maintain and further improve this high standard. We are also looking forward to the future develo­p­ment of the FNG label, which could include new catego­ries for impact and transi­tion products.
