This report marks an important step in strengthening transparency around our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) approach and performance.
Ton van Welie, CEO: “As a knowledge‑driven organization, our corporate strategy and core policies generally evolve over longer cycles. For this reason, Ortec Finance has chosen a two‑year reporting frequency for its sustainability report. The next report will be published in 2028 and will cover the years 2026 and 2027. At the same time, we monitor our key ESG metrics annually to track progress, manage risks and support informed decision‑making.
Our sustainability approach is anchored in four core ESG related topics: (E) Climate, (S) Working Conditions, (G) Business Conduct, and (S) Client Value & Product Development. Our strategies and policies guide these topics, and important metrics are included in this report. A key metric to creating long-term value is client satisfaction. For this reason, we are particularly proud of our excellent Net Promoter Score.
From an innovation perspective, our sustainability efforts demonstrate that sustainability at Ortec Finance extends beyond operational improvements and is increasingly embedded in the core of our propositions. Through our products and solutions, we enable better investment decisions for individuals, institutions, and society at large—from sound financial planning and effective investment policies to sustainable infrastructure and climate policy.
In line with our business model, Ortec Finance reports only Scope 3 emissions. The latest carbon footprint analysis indicates that total CO₂ emissions fell by over 18% in 2025 compared to the prior year, primarily driven by greater use of CO₂ neutral energy at office locations, more sustainable commuting behavior, and our continued migration to cloud based solutions.
The coming years will be used to further refine our sustainability ambitions, continue to set priorities, and improve metrics and outcomes.
We therefore consider this first Sustainability Report a starting point. Transparency about where we stand today, alongside our commitment to continuous improvement, is essential as we further integrate sustainability into our governance and daily practice.”
