Walder Wyss advises SIX Swiss Exchange with the Launch of a New Flag to Help Identify Paris Agreement Aligned Equities

27 août 2024 – SIX has introduced the new ‘SIX 1.5 °C Climate Equity’ flag to help investors identify companies whose existing business models and future plans are aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, as outlined in the Paris Agreement. Whether a company meets the relevant requirements must be confirmed by an approved reviewer. Companies listed on SIX Swiss Exchange can apply for the voluntary flag.

Walder Wyss acted as legal advisor to SIX. The team included Thomas Müller (Partner), Daniel Dedeyan (Counsel), Sylvia Anthamatten (Counsel), and Andreas Hösli (Senior Associate).
