BECOME A CLIENT

LENDING

We’ve established ambitious targets to diminish the climate footprint of our lending activities, ensuring they align with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. This includes our commitment to having 50% of our mortgage portfolio attain an EPC rating of C or higher by 2030.

Our lending strategy is designed to assist clients in mitigating their environmental impact and rewarding positive actions. For instance, our Green Mortgage Products offer incentives such as fee refunds for clients purchasing energy-efficient properties or upgrading their current homes to enhance energy efficiency.

Recognizing the complexity of the issue and the need for expert guidance, we are forging partnerships with relevant specialists to offer independent advice and guidance to our clients on how they can contribute to combating climate change.

BANKING

We at Nucleus Horizonz Trust, headquartered at Börsenstrasse 13, 9012 Zürich, Switzerland, are firmly committed to aligning its business strategy with two pivotal global initiatives:

  1. The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): These goals serve as the world’s roadmap for achieving sustainable development for all. We are dedicated to integrating these goals into our business practices to contribute positively to societal and environmental well-being.

  2. The Paris Agreement on Climate Change: This landmark agreement outlines measures to limit global warming to below 2°Celsius. We are fully committed to supporting the goals of the Paris Agreement and actively work towards reducing our carbon footprint.

Our lending approach is geared towards assisting clients in minimizing their environmental impact while rewarding positive actions. For instance, our Green Mortgage Products offer incentives, such as fee refunds, for clients purchasing energy-efficient properties or upgrading their current homes to enhance energy efficiency.

Recognizing the complexity of climate-related issues and the need for expert guidance, we are forging partnerships with relevant specialists. Through these collaborations, we aim to provide our clients with independent advice and guidance on how they can contribute to tackling climate change effectively.
